Amulets and Pendants
This category includes objects that are pierced for hanging.
Many of these objects may be considered amulets, but that functional aspect has been removed in this typology to focus on the shape. Therefore, pendants have been divided into animal/human and geometrical. These objects are usually less than 30mm and pierced for suspension.
