An amazing Phoenician necklace with ten unique head shaped glass pendants. The necklace is comprised of dozens of ancient Phoenician blue glass beads combined with globular glass beads decorated with blue eyes, including ten glass multi-colour pendants made with different details. Some are depicted with big blue or black eyes; each one has a coloured twisted hat, semi-opaque cobalt blue, with additions in opaque yellow, translucent pale yellow-brown, and semi-opaque turquoise green. The pedants are cylindrical with a large rod hole at the bottom, slightly indented on top; arched rounded edge at the back, front projecting downwards; and applied suspension loop on top of the head.
