Comments
This pendant was found together with a large number of other beads in faience, carnelian, garnet, steatite and other stones (Stevenson 2009: 328, ms 207), which forme one of two necklaces that were found in tomb 229. The material is not identified, but the pendant seems to be carved out of stone.
