Dear Ann,
Please contact Jamey Allen--who was the Curator at The Bead Museum from 1999 to 2011: jamey4beads@gmail.com
Thanks, Fred
Hi Ann -- what a great project! That's totally cool. I second the suggestion to get in touch with Jamey, as he is very knowledgeable. But in the meantime, do you think you could post some additional photos of the pendant at the bottom of the necklace?
And please -- keep us up to date on your work! Many of us were very sad to see the Museum close, and we'd love to see more pictures of the items you're going through and to hear more about the process.
Cheers,
Abe
Here is an image of the oblong beads at the bottom of the necklace. I think they are either shell or bone. Thanks for your help.
Ann
