Beaded Figure Ornament

The item is a small, handcrafted figure constructed primarily from plastic beads and string. It is designed to resemble a person, created by stringing together various beads of different shapes, sizes, and colors. The head is composed of a large, multifaceted clear bead topped by a smaller, translucent red bead that suggests a hat. The body appears to be made of several stacked cylindrical or ring-shaped beads in off-white or cream, forming the torso. Below this, there are alternating red or pink and white beads that make up the waist, giving a striped effect. A black disk bead with a crimped or ruffled edge creates a skirt-like element. The legs are formed from pairs of cylindrical beads, primarily yellow or cream, with pink or reddish beads at the very bottom forming the feet. The overall construction appears simple but functional, allowing the figure to hang. There is no visible wear or damage evident in the image; the beads appear clean and intact. The string used for assembly is visible at the top, indicating its purpose as a hanging ornament. There are no apparent maker's marks or signatures, consistent with a handmade or folk art item. Based on the materials and construction, it likely dates to the late 20th or early 21st century. The quality of craftsmanship is reflective of a typical amateur or hobbyist creation, with the beads strung together in a straightforward manner.
