Description
Necklace formed by two types of beads. On the one hand the piece presents a set of eight globular jet beads with decorative motifs in the form of a grid, then each incised line was filled with paste of gold. On the other, the necklace presents ten globular coral beads without decoration. This necklace alternated the jet beads with the coral. Both jet and coral were used for ornaments and amulets at that time and are documented in the communities of the three great religions: Christian, Muslim and Jewish.
