Collar of glaze pendants & beads. From S.E. corner, near bottom of box.

<> yellow? with red top red with white top white with blue top

Collar absolutely scattered, so hardly anything to be made of arrangement. Yellow red & white pendants seemed to follow. In addition there were green & blue dates. 6 disc beads came between pendants, in pairs of white, green, yellow & red.

Shoulder pieces of white glaze, decorated with spirals. Triangular pieces between spirals of blue & red glaze. Blue thread ring at top of one shoulder piece, but not the other. Thickened bar one side for thread holes, of which there were three in one & four in the other. One layer hole on other side of each for back cord. This back cord ended in tassels 2.5 long.
