Raised from a single sheet of gold. Pentafoliate rosette of nymphaea-like leaves with inner contour parallel to the edge of the leaf. Above each bent tip is an embossed line. The rosette is framed by a cord. Two holes for later reuse. Rosette type parallels types in the Hellenized Near East repertoire.
