The beads are about 0.170" diameter; many show imperfect (off-center) drilling, which is accentuated by being so tightly strung that the string of...
It's almost 40" long; the beads are slightly graduated, 7/8" to ~1 1/8" in length. I believe the intricate knots between the beads have a name,...
~8 1/4" long, ~125 grams. I cannot read the name on either one; no other marking. The bowl shape, an' pattern (same both sides) may offer...
9" long, ~210 grams (~52.5g ea). The 13 on the CLAUS are very plain; the KELLER not so much: the first character looks like a boot, toe left, with...

The Obi is 108" X 3"; remnant 50" X 26". Again, I'm unable describe adequately what you can see. Probably silk, but untested. Thanks for lookin'!...
I don't know what to call this fabric; brocade, or damask? Silk, probably, but untested so far. Pre-war for sure; beyond that I am over my head as...
