St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a handmade figurine, designed to resemble a clown, crafted from various beads. The body and limbs are constructed using oval-shaped yellow beads, interspersed with smaller round yellow beads that serve as joints. The head features a detailed painted face and sports a cone-shaped, deep blue hat. The neck area is adorned with a white, ruffled bead, mimicking a clown's frilled collar. Mounted on a plain cardboard-like background, the figurine is suspended by a string attached to its hat, all against a backdrop of bubble wrap, emphasizing its three-dimensionality and providing a protective layer.
