This khosour bead bracelet consists of red beads and conical-shaped gold beads, with five of each type strung together. The beads are connected by a small gold button, which fastens the twined strings together. This bracelet is very small, and so it would have been worn by a young girl. However, the fastening can be adjusted to make it larger as the girl grows up. This type of bracelet was intended for everyday use and is still worn today by both older women and young girls.
