            <display>Sixty-four vertical chains made of double links are suspended from a long narrow band with three perforations at each rounded triangular end. Fifty short chains constitute the central part, and seven long chains frame it at each side. Rhomboid plaques with a raised, perforated central rib are hung on the chains at equal intervals every four links. All the chains have idol-shaped pendants. There are eleven of the rhomboid plaques threaded on to each of the long chains, and just four on each of the short chains. The vertical chains are linked together in the middle by a horizontal chain; the long chains on the side have two additional horizontal plates, one after the second and another after the third row of plaques of the longer parts of the chains. The idol-shaped pendants are decorated with hammered and embossed decoration.</display>
