content: Short necklace? Alternating red and white cylindrical "beads" strung on buckskin thong with animal bone stained with reddish pigment. Deteriorated piece of furred skin had been attached to animal bone with thread, but has become detached. Two Navajo style silver buttons - one dome shaped, and one fluted dome - are on a separate string, which has been loosely attached to the necklace (possibly a later addition?).

content: Per Dr. William T. Billeck, the long white "beads" are bird bone, long red probably quill.
