Circular Pendant
Circular sheet edged by twisted wire and a row of granules. Eight granule triangles point inward creating an eight-petaled flower. In the center is a gold boss with a single granule circled by a smooth wire between two twisted wires. Attached at the top is a thin sheet rolled to form a tube through which a string could pass. Twisted wire is preserved at one end of the tube.
