PENDANT
Unique ID: PAS-822B43
A total of 7 silver objects were recovered from a grave at this site. The grave contained the remains of a single individual buried on their left side with arms and legs flexed. The grave was oreintated northwest (head) - southeast. The head possibly rested on the right hand. All of the objects were found clustered beneath the jaw, they are interprested as necklace pendants, which were probably suspended on a decayed orange thong.
The items consists of:
An incomplete silver disc (scudiform) pendant, recovered in six pieces although partially restored during conservation and now in three pieces. One side of the disc is undecorated. The other side is decorated with geometric alignments of punched dots forming a four point star positioned around a central perforated boss. Four chevrons formed from punched dots are located between the lobes of the star at the periphery of the disc and point inward to the centre of the pendant. The punched dots follow faintly incised marking out lines.
A sub-square silver object, exhibiting curvature in one plane.
A sub-circular slip knot ring made from drawn silver wire.
A distored sub-circular slip knot ring made from drawn silver wire.
Half of a slip knot ring. Two conjoining pieces of drawn silver wire bent to form a semi-circle.
