Fiziksel açıklama
Flat gold drop-shaped pendant with a border of pearls. The pendant is made from sheet gold stamped on each side with (different) Arabic. Two rows of rings of twisted wire are attached to the rim. The rings of the inner row are each topped with granules, and those of the outer row each has a seed pearl threaded on wire inside it, and a triangle of granules on its outermost point. There is a single turquoise set on the front, at the top.
