Summary
String of three beads or amulets, including one in the shape of a turquoise scarab beetle, one blue rectangle with a cross etched in one side and a line etched in the other side and one brown oval shaped bead all attached to a piece of thin string tied together in a circle.
Provenance
Probably acquired on transfer of the house to the National Trust. The family travelled extensively before WW1 and the Hon. Gerald Agar-Robartes, later 7th Viscount Clifden, who gave Lanhydrock to the National Trust in 1953, had a career in the Diplomatic Service from 1906-1930.
