Amulet
Physical description
A miniature glass amulet depicting a human head. The face is beige-coloured, and the head has been adorned with a blue hat. The hat contains white and yellow swirls, and these colours were probably mixed into the blue glass as the object was being created. There is a small hole at the upper tip of the hat, likely created so a necklace or chain could be threaded through. One eye is blue, created from the same glass as the hat. The back of the amulet is slightly concave. (On a stone and metal mount.)
