A ceremonial necklace is displayed against a brown museum wall, showcasing intricate Native American craftsmanship. The piece features cylindrical white shell beads forming the main strand, with multiple turquoise and orange-red coral mosaic tabs arranged symmetrically along both sides. A larger central pendant at the bottom incorporates the same turquoise, coral, and shell materials with three white shell dangles. The necklace demonstrates traditional Pueblo or Santo Domingo style jewelry-making techniques, likely from the Southwestern United States.
