content: Hollow-form tear-drop shaped pendant fabricated in bas-relief repousse from thin sheets of gold alloy. Imagery has been punched and chased into both front and back; one side has a centrally placed, stylised lotus flower in low-relief with a medium relief beaded border; the imagery on the flip side is less easily deciphered. The two sides of the pendant appear to overlap, in a box-like manner, and are soldered together. Two jump-rings are soldered to the top, one on its side with the second soldered flush with the top of the pendant. A small hole is pierced through the side of the pendant adjacent the pendant loops. The metal is crimped along the the edge and two areas of overlap are evident on the sides.
