Beaded Fish Charm

This item is a small, handcrafted beaded charm or figurine, shaped like a stylized fish. It is primarily constructed from numerous small, round plastic pony beads, meticulously strung together to form the aquatic creature's body. The color palette includes vibrant pink for the dorsal and caudal fins, a band of light orange or gold beads across the middle of the body, and white beads forming the ventral section and parts of the tail and snout. A single larger black bead is prominently featured as the eye on one side, giving the fish a distinct focal point. The construction method appears to be a basic bead weaving technique, likely using monofilament line or similar sturdy thread, which is largely invisible. At one end, presumably the head, a small silver-colored metal jump ring is attached, suggesting its use as a keychain, charm, or a component for jewelry. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures. The condition appears good, with no obvious signs of bead loss, significant wear, or damage to the beading or the attached jump ring. The piece seems to be a contemporary craft item, likely made in the last 20-30 years, designed for personal adornment or as a decorative novelty. The craftsmanship, while appearing robust for its type, is indicative of a hobbyist or enthusiast level of skill.
