It may have consisted of more beads.

Description
Gold necklace made of 9 beads and one lentoid stone (?) bead. Each bead is different and not all may have belonged to the same necklace.

Decoration
2 beads are carinated, one larger than the other; the third bead is decorated with vertical grooves. The 4th bead is larger, with a series of grooves and the central part is also decorated with five vertical grooves. The 5th bead is oval decorated with vertical parallel ribs. The sixth bead is carinated and decorated with a series of vertical grooves. The seventh is elongated with a bulge in the centre. The 8th is similar to the 5th. The 9th bead is almost similar to the 7th bead. In the centre, there is a fragmentary lentoid stone bead with possibly two parallel incisions in the centre on either side.
