Hello, this item is a strand of terracotta clay beads assembled as a necklace, composed of flattened discoid and rounded forms in varying ochre and buff tones, most consistent with modern or recent folk-style production rather than authenticated Pre-Columbian manufacture. The beads show uniform drilling, regular symmetry, and repeating incised band decoration typical of contemporary hand-shaped clay beads made for decorative or tourist markets. While inspired by Mesoamerican and Andean bead traditions, the surface texture, consistent coloration, and lack of mineral encrustation or excavation wear indicate these are not ancient Mayan or Pre-Columbian artifacts but later replicas or artisan-made pieces.

Condition appears good overall, with intact beads and light surface abrasions consistent with handling. The strand appears restrung on modern wire or filament, further supporting a contemporary assembly. Authentic Pre-Columbian ceramic bead necklaces with verified archaeological provenance command significantly higher prices and present markedly different aging characteristics. Comparable modern clay bead necklaces of this size, approximately two feet in length, typically sell in the decorative market between USD 30 and USD 100 depending on craftsmanship and presentation.
