A faience necklace features an outer circular strand and five inner spokes composed of blue cylindrical beads and minuscule yellow spheres. These strands radiate toward the center, each terminating in a flared, cup-shaped lotus pendant. The five blue blossoms cluster at the heart of the ring, their wide openings oriented inward. The arrangement creates a wheel-like geometry, framing the sculptural floral ornaments at the center of the composition.
