This necklace was described as possibly modern Egyptian when it was bequeathed to the Museum in 1904. It may have been acquired in Egypt, but the individual parts are more likely to have come from the Yemen. The conical terminal beads, the solid polyhedral beads, and the simple open filigree beads are all typical of Jewish Yemeni work, although the arrangement in two equal sections is not traditional. Beads and necklaces were frequently broken up and reused, and few necklaces have survived in anything like their original form.

Fiziksel açıklama
Necklace made from two strings of silver-gilt beads, with conical terminal beads at each end, strung on white cord. The terminal beads each have a curved open filigree rosette forming the wider end and are covered with a spiral of zigzag wire ending in plain wire at the narrower end. The beads consist of four groups of five solid facetted beads on each string. The facetted beads are separated from each other by solid discs with lobed edges arranged vertically between the facetted beads. Each group of five facetted beads and six disc beads is separated from the next group by an open filigree bead made from two domed rosettes of the same kind as that on the terminal beads.
