A circular gilded copper alloy frame in the form of a tudor rose. The top of the frame has an extention, with a swinging pin that holds a clear trapoizal bead. The other end of the extension terminate in a loop for suspension. The back is plain.
Notes:
Inspection through a binocular microscope showed the hole through bead to have been drilled. This and the fact that there are no air bubbles visible suggest that this is not a glass bead.
