Dress decoration made of white crystal, pearls, jet black beads. Decorative cluster with seven strands as long as 5". Dated 1907-8.
The top of the decoration is shaped like a crescent moon, facing downward. It is decorated mainly in crystal beading, with a few stray black beads. Moving downward, there are seven strands of beads, that consist of mainly crystal beads, then a row of pearls across the seven strands, then more crystal beading, then a row of black beads, finished off by more crystal beading. Underneath that are two horizontal bars of black beads, connected by 5 small strands of crystal beads. Below that middle portion, there are 7 strands of crystal beads, occasionally decorated with a row of black beads or pearls. The decoration is capped off by long, crystal beads.
