Pendant composed of two reguardant lions in repose, mirrored along their ventral surfaces. At the top, functioning as a suspension device between the two felines, is a protrusion of amber. When suspended, the lions' flanks would be presented. At the bottom is a section of amber that, together with the encircling tails, forms a calyx-like base.
