An early medieval Levantine pendant cast in copper alloy, the openwork body combining a triangular panel with a circular boss below. The triangular field is set with three round cabochons in blue, green, and red, and the lower boss carries a larger blue cabochon within a beaded silver style border. The metal shows heavy patina, surface corrosion, and earthen deposits consistent with age and burial, with a loop at the top for suspension.
