Digital image scanned from a 35mm black and white negative of an unidentified model wearing a necklace created by Art Smith. Taken near the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts during the 1974 annual summer session, the model proper left ¾ profile is captured as she looks in the distance. Her hair is pulled back in a ponytail. She is wearing a dark color shirt. The necklace appears to be comprised of two, long, flattened pieces of metal melded together with circular balls at the end. One piece is longer than the other, freely wrapped twice around the neck, while the other piece only seems to go around once. Each of the four balls end in different spots, with one near the back of the neck, two in the front, and one ending near the proper left chest. Water glistens in the background.
