They preserve an appealing range of natural tones, from ochres and sands to browns and darker earth tones, creating a particularly harmonious overall appearance. The matte surface, color variations, and small signs of wear impart a strong archaeological presence to the piece. The considerable length of the necklace allows the rhythmic sequence of the beads to be appreciated and gives it a significant decorative effect, whether displayed in a vitrine or mounted on a support.
