The two necklace segments are each composed of cylindrical tubes
with almond-shaped pendants. One string has thirty-three complete
components and a thirty-fourth tube that is missing its pendant;
the other has seven components. Each tube has spool-shaped ends
and a short centre encircled by a central ridge. Perpendicular
to each tube is an almond-shaped pendant formed from two pieces;
the convex front has side flanges and a central ridge which divides
it into two segments; the back is flat, with an extension at the
top that is metallurgically attached to the back of the cylindrical
tube. Although the two segments were acquired separately by the
Metropolitan Museum, the components of both may' belong to the
same necklace, the total preserved length and weight of which
would be 45.2 cm. and 27.38 gr.
