Fiziksel açıklama
Necklace of 39 hollow silver elements alternating with red and black moulded glass beads strung on copper wire thread. There is a loop of wire at one end of the necklace, and a plain spherical silver bead at the other. Each of the silver elements consists of a tube, through which the cord of the necklace runs, with a pyramid of granules above it. Below the tube through which the cord runs is a short vertical tube ending in a sphere with a pyramid of granules at its lowest point. Both tubular parts are grooved to look like twisted wire.
