Inv. no 9568
A necklace with 14 beads conserves traces of the thread that connected the beads. One bead conserves a fragment of the thread that has opened and reveals a number of probably seven strands (diameter 1,86mm, while another conserves the thread in a more compact way, less degraded (diameter 1,49mm altogether). Also, in the case of the more compact thread, we can distinguish five strands on one side, and one must assume that on the other side there are probably five more. Unfortunately, it was not possible to flip the bead with the protruding thread to count the strands more accurately.
