Description

Three curved strands of pale, roughly spherical beads are laid out on a dark background, each ending in a small loop with a thread. At the centre sit two pendants: a round, dome-shaped object pierced with many small holes, and a smaller carved face with a worn surface and a loop at its base. The beads vary slightly in colour and a few are chipped.
