Button and Bead Ornament

This item is a handmade ornament crafted from a collection of assorted buttons and beads, strung together on a string. It takes the form of a stylized human figure. The head is represented by a large, faceted bead, possibly acrylic with a pearlized finish, colored in a golden yellow hue. Below the head is a large, translucent pink button, which acts as a hat or collar. The body is constructed from a stack of various buttons, ranging in size and color, including shades of pink, purple, white, and red. Some buttons are solid colored, while others have striped patterns. The arms are also formed from stacked buttons and beads, extending outwards from the upper body. The legs are made similarly, stacked buttons with two metallic pink spherical beads at the feet. A thin string is attached to the top of the head, serving as a hanger. The overall construction appears to be simple stringing of components without any visible glue or other fasteners. The buttons and beads exhibit varied finishes and textures, indicative of being repurposed from different sources. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures, suggesting it is a homemade craft item. The condition appears good, with no visible damage; the buttons and beads appear intact and the string is secure. The style is characteristic of a simple, whimsical craft project. The size is relatively small, suitable for hanging as an ornament.
