St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a small, articulated figurine crafted from various beads in black, red, and natural tones. The figurine seems to resemble a person, characterized by a spherical head with facial features drawn or painted on it. The body comprises a large, glossy black bead for the torso, with a red collar detail separating the head and the body. Its arms and legs are constructed with cylindrical beads, combining black and red colors, and the limbs are extended outward, with the arms held horizontally. The legs are connected to the body with additional round beads, and the feet appear to be made from natural-colored loops or rings. The figurine is adorned with a small hat on its head, matching the overall color scheme, and is set against a textured, bubble-wrap background that provides a contrast to the smoothness of the beads.
