Fiziksel açıklama
Flat gold drop-shaped pendant with a border of pearls. The pendant is made from sheet gold stamped on each side with a six-sided star formed from two superimposed triangles, with Arabic inscriptions in the space between the points. A row of rings of twisted wire is attached to the rim, each of which has a seed pearl threaded on wire inside it, and a triangle of granules on its outermost point.
