Neck jewellery

Small iron beads are sewn onto an oval leather plate (10 x 7.5 cm). (Five round beads around the edge, in the centre the beads are arranged in a pattern: three vertical lines in the centre surrounded by three horizontal lines on each side). The leather plate is attached to a chain made up of five strands of beads. These strings of iron beads are much larger than the beads on the leather plate. The five individual chains are held together by three double leather bars. There is always a single bead per chain between the double leather bars. The leather is dark brown to black in colour.
