Pendant, silver, silver gilt, with an onyx bead. The cut-out figures are enclosed within a corded ring; they represent the Adoration of the Magi. To the right of the seated Virgin and Child one kneels, offering a cup; his companion, holding a vessel, points to the star, fixed top left on the ring. The third, to the left, holds an incense boat. An onyx bead hangs from a double suspension ring, a small suspension hoop at the top.
