256, QQQ. (2)

 

Back: <Under surface> plain gold details engraved similar to front surface.

 

Suspended by two gold wire chains <(see 4.D)> hanging from lotus blooms reversed (gold

inlaid - inlay decayed) threaded to two carneleansic beads and a pendant.

 

(4E)

Pendant: For description see 256. UUU.

 

REMARKS:

Though there are five holes in the lotus flowers and similar number of eyelets 

on pectoral there were no signs of further suspension other than the gold chains. 

It is of interest to remark that the lunar-disk is of a silver alloy in contra-

distinction to the rest of the gold - i.e. copper alloy.
