CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
Pendant, pierced across the top element with a heart-shaped leaf below. The top element is horizontal with vertical striations, connected to the leaf by a narrower vertical "stem," also with striations, and the leaf, which points downward, has a line of bumps that traces the edges and also runs down the center. Likely formed in a mold and then pierced. Unornamented on the reverse.
