This necklace is comprised of two strands of shell hieshe interspersed with turquoise nuggets and turquoise fetishes. The fetishes have been identified as having been made by Leo Poblano. There are 30 fetishes on the necklace, some of which are bright green turquoise and some are dark green. Interspersed between the fetishes are drilled turquoise nuggets. A pair of jaclas is suspended from the necklace and the green turquoise of the jaclas compliments the green stones and fetishes of the necklace. The necklace is strung on string with a worn pueblo wrap at the neck. The necklace appears to be quite old but it is difficult to place a date on it.
