An oval pandantif made of black jasper is placed in the middle of a golden frame having diagonal lines. On one face of black jasper Barajas figure is located and on the other side, a figure that is probably Helios is used. The figures made on semi - valuable stones with a carving technique are seen in pandantives and ring stones. One of those figures is Abraxas. It is frequently seen in the Roman period. In the sample here, Abraxas has a cock head, a human body and dragon legs. It has a whip in its hand. Since the stone has excessively corroded, the figures on both sides are destroyed to a great extent. The pandantif has a wide handle with its upper side grooved. It has a moving pendulum in equilateral quadruple shape made of granule particles at the end of the flat ring. A simple ring is closed with a hook.
