Amber pendant of a satyr head and partial neck in profile, facing right; relatively flat on the reverse and rounded on the obverse. A long mustache begins just under the nose and overlaps the beard, which juts forward to a rounded point. The head is framed by two rows of hair separated by a raised line, perhaps a fillet. The hair sweeps back behind the head in thick locks detailed with incised lines, giving the impression of a low-hanging bun.
