Notes

"As ancient artisans honed their skills, they experimented with an array of materials to create these adornments. Shells, seeds, and animal bones were among the first substances to be fashioned into beads, each material carrying its own significance and symbolism. These early artisans, with a keen eye for aesthetics, transformed raw elements into intricate miniature masterpieces." Source: Universe, B. (2023, December 9).
