Posterior is an open link. The piece is decorated by a hand-hammered pocking throughout the main triangle. It has three open-work flowers with raised bead centers in each corner of the triangle which surround the central ornament. An etched triangle encloses the centerpiece and connects to each of the surrounding floral elements. There is etching, linear and zig-zag, on the spike and link.
