    How big is this? In form, looks more like worry beads than a necklace.

    It does look like a prayer bead, but those are usually Greek or Middle Eastern and the heads on this look Mexican.

    It is a Chinese Buddha head mala. Probably serpentine.

    Thanks for the reply. Very likely serpentine and the 18 Lohans.
