Description: | Jewel, pendant. Circular box of gold, enclosing a piece of carnelian (?) dark red in the centre and with a bluish ring round the edge, looking a little like a human eye. The suspension loop is attached to a thread of gold which passes through the stone and emerges on the outside of the box, being looped around itself so as to form a knob. The stone, being loose inside the box, can be made to move by pushing or pulling the knob or suspension loop. The rim of the box in front, round the stone, is ornamented with gold rosettes in relief.
