Description
Bibliography

Incomplete pendant found in 1996 during the Makrygiannis plot excavation in Burial Μ 116 where it had been placed as a burial offering.

Only half of it survives, in the shape of a flower. There is a suspension hole on the upper part, allowing it to be worn around the neck as a simple piece of jewellery or a talisman, while it is also possible that it may have been used as a seal.

From the same grave come three cups (Μ 3146, Μ 3147, Μ 3522), two kylikes (Μ 3148, Μ 3525), a ring (Μ 3524), a jug (Μ 3526) and a necklace (Μ 3527).
