| Description (Catalog Card): | [.1-.2] Beads. A very long chain composed of large and small jasper, chalcedony, agate, sard, marble, carnelian and other stones, cut as bugles, lentoids, barrels and flattened square-ended lentoids, alternating with gold balls, some plain, some ribbed, and one with relief pattern. These seem to have formed one chain but it must have passed two or three time round the neck: the beads covered a considerable area but lay very thickly under the head. Restrung on original pattern but not in original order. [additional drawing on back of catalog card] [drawing] |
