Necklace consisting of pearls, coral and stone discs, coral logs, and metal beads. The final part of the necklace, made on a single strand, is embellished with an ornithomorphic figure in tutto tondo pierced in metal, perhaps a stylized representation of a vase, raw turquoise, metallic pearls, and a gold pendant. The latter depicts a male figure in profile, seated with arms folded, carrying a vase on his back secured to his forehead by a sash. Larger raw turquoise is placed at one end of the necklace in place of the clasp. The entire necklace is worked on double strand to form rings: starting with the closing turquoise there are seven rings per side consisting of stones, pearls, metal beads (on a single strand) and coral. Next are six rings per part of double size consisting of: black gemstones and red coral; orange coral and black gemstones; white gemstones and pink-orange coral; red coral and white gemstones; purple (?) coral and red coral; green gemstones and purple (?) coral. Metal beads are strung on a single strand to subdivide the rings.
