A silver gilt and fiber armlet features a horizontal woven band with a central heart-shaped ornament. Symmetrical rows of curved vertical segments flank the heart, while small leaf-shaped charms hang from rings along the lower edge. Two star-shaped elements anchor the ends of the central metallic decoration. The fiber cord extends outward, terminating in a braided tassel on the left and a narrow loop on the right.
