This fragment shows four small gold birds outlined in white and enclosed in a compartment formed by a white band decorated with small diamonds in gold. White lines with squares at the end containing small gold diamonds project from the band at intervals. Along the top and bottom of the piece is a guilloche band. Interlaced lines are gold with salmon outlines on gold ground.
