Pendant carved in the shape of a ram's head. Four lines cross the nose and slope down toward the corners of the mouth. The horns curve out from the top of the head and around each side; they have ridges with tightly spaced grooves. The tips of the horns, now missing, would have turned outward. A filament threaded through a perforation in the collar area would have suspended the pendant.
