Description

Two dark boards sit side by side on a cream album page, one slightly larger than the other. Across both, many small gold objects are arranged in rows and loose clusters: rings, earrings, pendants, beaded necklaces and long chains, with small paper labels placed among them. Larger pieces include a flat broad band and a round medallion on the left board. The arrangement is orderly and fills the whole surface.
