On one side of the middle bar is a pale blue faience amulet of the Eye of Horus (also Wadjet Eye or Eye of Ra) with black details. The earrings continue the rainbow theme, each with roughly sixty faience seed beads and three strands that hang down from a faience-beaded bar. Modern gold plated sterling silver findings.

It was made by grinding quartz or sand crystals together with various elements, including copper oxide and iron, which gave it its distinct coloration.
