3 chaquira
(Sp. model spelled same [t∫akíra], of American Indian origin)Colored beads made of mock pearl or glass. Glossed in the DRAE as rosary beads or other beads made of various materials that the Spaniards traded with the American Indians. It may also refer to jewelry made from such beads. Santamaría concurs, adding that in Mexico it refers to small colored beads used in making embroidery, purses, cigar cases, baskets, and other things. He notes that at the time of publication of the DM, the term was still very common in Mexico. Cobos references chaquira as a "glass bead or beadwork."Alternate form: chaquina.
