content: Necklace made of leather cord with triangular leather pendant pointing down. Pendant is made of a single piece of leather, stretched over a triangular (wooden?) form, around the cord, and over the back of the form, then stitched together along the back and sides. The leather on the pendant is stamped with lines on the front, creating concentric triangles and tiny crosshatching around the outer edge. The cord is made of several strips of leather, tightly braided together, with domed "buttons" at both ends. One end has another "button" attached by a loop of leather cord, presumably a fastener for wearing the necklace.
