Twenty-eight miscellaneous beads and one stud (beads (pierced objects); Unknown Greek (Greek Artist); 220 - 100 BCE; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 92.AM.8.10)

Note: At present, 28 beads are randomly strung together on modern cord and accompanied by a solitary mushroom-shaped stud. The group of beads is comprised of eight separator beads made up of two adjoined rings of gold granulation; eight faceted beads fashioned from gold sheet; five carnelian and four amethyst beads of biconical shape; and three large round emeralds. The unstrung piece of carnelian may have been a plug or pendant; its stem is pierced for threading.
