A bundle of decorative rings of tortoiseshell, shell and glass, bound together with a strand of vegetable fibre, together with two blue glass beads. Some of the rings are linked, which is made possible by the open ends of the tortoiseshell rings.º Most likely this is not a separate piece of jewellery but a makeshift necklace of earrings and other decorative rings. The open ends of the tortoiseshell rings allow the whole to be disassembled.‖ See: Van der Sande, Plate XII for images of earrings.
