A silver gilt armlet features a central circular medallion set with a cluster of red and white stones. Radiating from either side, twenty-six crescent-shaped silver segments curve toward the center, each inset with small, bright red gems. These pieces are joined by parallel yellow cords threaded through top and bottom loops, securing the ornament into a flexible horizontal band that ends in simple knotted ties.
