Description

A pair of labrets with a split bead attached to each specimen. The labrets are made from marble, and have been shaped by grinding and polishing to form an outer disk set off from an inner flange by a shallow groove. Each labret has half of a transparent blue glass bead cemented to the outer surface of the disk. A shallow groove has been cut around the middle of each of the beads.
