Description

A necklace of about thirty ribbed, rounded beads curves across a plain grey background. From its centre hangs a pendant shaped like a small vessel, with a narrow neck and a collar at the top, a band of swag-like ornament on the shoulder and a tapering base ending in a small knob. Some beads show dark patches and wear.
