An elongated gold pendant features a wavy body flecked with thousands of tiny granules. A raised, undulating line divides the horizontal surface. Above the line, rows of larger beads follow the curve, while the lower section is marked by radial lines of spheres. The right end curves upward into a rounded shape. A small circular opening sits on the upper edge toward the right.
