I think this style of necklace is one of the more interesting of types and M'A's is completely original as I have seen them published like that and have them in books looking like hers.  I thought mine was missing however I think like Sarah said and I can see that they made them up to serve different purposes.

Will have hubby make a piture when I wear it ( I hate to be in pictures ) but it will give better inside how large it actual is.

Pendants reworked to use in a necklace.

It is amazing that any complete ones survive as the elements have been re used for some time

Separate pendants used by a Hadidhu lady in a mixed necklace.

I felt that some  pictures of them being worm may be of help

The style of cloak and dress in this pic suggests the Imilchil side of the mountain range, and therefore Hadhidhu
