Beads have been worn to decorate the body, to communicate status
or identity, to display wealth, or as amulets to protect the wearer.
The importance of beads in many cultures, and the durable materials
from which they are often made, mean they are the most common ornament
unearthed from ancient graves. These beads were found in a grave
in Peru.
