The image displays a multi-strand bead necklace from the 20th century CE, likely originating from or influenced by southern Afghanistan. The necklace is composed of glass beads, carved bone elements, and cord, featuring intricate beadwork in black, cream, and orange hues. It is displayed on a dark brown, textured surface, possibly a fabric backdrop. Below the necklace, a smaller, decorative metal piece with red and blue beads and dangling chains is also visible. A pink placard with text in both English and what appears to be Pashto provides information about the necklace, detailing its construction and cultural significance, noting its use by women during ceremonies and festive occasions, and reflecting the jewelry-making traditions of southern Afghanistan or its status as an imported piece from India. The text also mentions the city of Kandahar, Afghanistan, in relation to the necklace's origins.
