This is a necklace made of dull glass in black, blue, light blue, and yellow colors. Most of the beads are decorated with colorful round "eyes", which served as charms. This necklace belonged to the wealthy Scythian woman buried in the Melitopol mound. There are about 4,000 gold jewelry items and the remains of a funeral cart in the burial. Oleksiy Terenozhkin managed the study of the mound in 1954.
