Black necklace with a large piece made of overlapping bits of paper. The piece looks like a collection of overlapping feathers or flower petals. The paper bits are generally oval shaped and irregular, as if cut with many straight cuts. The oval shapes are overlapped to form a generally long and upwards curved shape, but it branches off in many places for short or long, thin or thick branches. This piece is attached to a cord made of twisted, thin fibers. The necklace is short.
