The assemblage of this necklace is modern. It regroups on either side of a central neritic shell four disc-shaped beads of blue enamel, four barrel-shaped beads of carnelian and four disc-shaped beads of ostrich eggshell. The shell bears heavy wear marks. It is likely that a first hole broke and a second hole was pierced at the opposite end giving the shell an unusual shape.

Le montage de ce collier est moderne. Il rassemble, de part et d'autre d'un coquillage central, de type nerita, quatre perles discoïdes en pâte émaillée bleue, quatre perles en forme de tonneau en cornaline, quatre perles discoïdes en coquille d'oeuf d'autruche. Le coquillage présente des traces d'usure prononcées. Il est vraisemblable qu'une première perforation s'était brisée, on en a pratiqué une seconde à l'opposé, d'où la forme inhabituelle de la position du coquillage.
