A gold pendant features a flared, symmetrical openwork design topped with a suspension ring. At the center, a circular cutout sits above an oval red gem, which is flanked by two stylized, finned creatures facing inward. Fourteen clear faceted stones are set into the metal, which is embellished with dense stippled dots. Curved scrollwork forms the pendant's outer edges, creating a decorative silhouette punctuated by multiple patterned cutouts.
