Necklace found around the neck of a child. Composed of oval beads of a grey-green siliceous conglomerate alternating with groups of one, two or three disc-shaped beads of ostrich eggshell. A tubular bead of enamel, the colour varying from turquoise to yellow, is the central piece. The neritic shell was found near the right arm of the deceased and is placed here as a pendant.

Ce collier se trouvait au cou d'un enfant. Il est fait d'une alternance de perles gris vert ovales en silice agglomérée, séparées par des groupes de une, deux ou trois perles discoïdes en coquille d'oeuf d'autruche. Au centre une perle tubulaire en pâte émaillée dont la couleur varie du bleu turquoise au jaune. Le coquillage, de type nerita, a été trouvé près du bras droit du squelette, et replacé ici en pendentif.
