Beaded Necklace with Star
Ira Blount · late 20th-early 21st Century
This white beaded necklace features a colorful star with eight points known as an octagram. The green, yellow, red, and blue beads create bold geometric shapes within the star. The fringe attached to the bottom forms a triangle. These details draw attention to the relationship between art and geometry, showcasing artist Ira Blount’s (1918-2020) intricate beadwork skills.
