Description
A mandrin-glass (-jade?) with lapis beads and red quartz(?) medallions worn by men. Four big red beads linked by smaller greenish-white jade beads. One of the four red beads is connected to the smaller beads by coiled cords and the flat red quartz and the tear-shaped quartz are hanging from it. Flat and tear-shaped quartz are connected with blue knotted cords. Three smaller tear-shaped quartz are hanging from the sides of the medallions. Those are connected with small blue beads on brown string. All of the tear-shaped quartz have silver ornaments on the tops. There are only three subsections hanging. Therefore this is a complete form. There are no missing parts. Medallions were hung on the back of the mandrin when it was worn.
