Description: 
Myrmidin, a women's metallic gold-plated breast ornament. It consists of thin chains, one vertical connected with three horizontal ones all of them  decorated with small round elements. The first two horizontal chains are longer and have hooks at their ends for attachment to the shirt, so that the chest is covered with chains. The central horizontal chain consists of a series of miniature round elements connected with small rings, while the other chains are decorated with round elements, connected with rings.
