There are in fact tinies in the pic. It took me a while to notice them but they are tied to the beads. There are two on the left and one on the right. On the left there is one wearing red and a light brown while on the right only the red one is visible (barely).
Namikaze is correct. Also, while it's impossible to tell from just the image, the short story that went with this image originally said these were shrunken women, so that tag can be added.
