Mitre-pendant

Certainly, here's a rephrased version of the text you provided:

School/Artistic Style: Reflecting Style II

Cultural and Temporal Context: Originating in the Germanic cultural milieu, crafted during the 7th century

Excavation Location: Unearthed in Europe, specifically on the island of Gotland in Sweden

Materials: Comprised of copper alloy and glass

Craftsmanship Technique: Created through wire coiling, repoussé, and punching

Description: This ensemble consists of a necklace composed of four chains, each attached on both sides to two subtriangular plaques. Additionally, there are fourteen mitre pendants made from copper alloy, formed by folding a cylindrical leaf, as well as twelve beads and three primroses also crafted from copper alloy.

The subtriangular plaques are adorned with a decorative pattern consisting of rings and dots, with each plaque featuring a perforation at the top for attachment.

Each mitre pendant boasts three ribbed bands that run along its length. The individual bracts are designed as leafy discs and feature a raised central circle with three profile II-style animal heads positioned beneath a schematic human mask. These elements are surrounded by broad concentric borders adorned with pierced zigzags, pellets, and cross-hatching. Each pendant has a ribbed cylindrical loop at the top, allowing for suspension.

The bead set comprises seven one-color glass beads, three coiled bronze wire beads with a barrel shape, and two polychrome glass beads.
