Santo Domingo (Kewa) 15-Strand Pinshell Heishi and Red Glass Beaded Necklace c. 1980s, 32" length (J90193-0420-015)

126g, 32" length. Acquired from a private collection in Virginia. The owner purchased jewelry from the early 1970s through the mid-1990s. The word “heishi” means “shell,” although today it is often used to describe the cut style of beads that are small, flat, disc-shapes.
