Description

A stippled pen-and-ink drawing on a pale card shows a single ornament. At the top is a large domed disc with a twisted rope border, below which a vertical central band carries two rows of chevron pattern between plain lines. Four rounded, bead-like forms are stacked on each side of the band, and the whole piece is shown flat, filling most of the frame.

A display panel covered in fabric shows several necklaces hung in tiers, made of beads, small pendants and fine chains, arranged in a U-shape at lower left. Above are smaller pieces of jewellery, including earrings and a pair of small rings, and to the right a long, flattened object with a corroded surface. Printed labels and Roman numeral cards are fixed to the cloth, and objects also hang along the right edge.
