1. (KKGF 03 (205). sf 233). Fragment of a bracelet or necklace. The surviving section is composed of a series of gold filigree double-loop links, the bars of which were threaded with polyhedral faceted beads of the green stone variscite. Seven beads survive. The terminals consist of a hook and eye attachment, each of which were soldered onto the last link chain by means of a triangular plate.

It is possible that some of the beads were added to substitute missing originals, with the ten faceted garnets perhaps representing the original stones and the other,…
