A silver chain drapes in a wide arc, suspending four intricate ornaments. Centrally, a rectangular amulet case features a six-pointed star within a circular frame. To the right, a long cylindrical tube connects to a triangular cap set with a red stone. To the left, a smaller triangular charm with a turquoise stone hangs beside a cluster of dangling metallic pendants. Fine granulated patterns and textured filigree detail each silver surface.
