The remains of a rivet are found inside the socket. There is an oval boss at the top, decorated with striated triangles and surrounded by eight concentric rings. There are dots, a line, and more dots between the edge and the rings. The socket is also decorated: eight horizontal parallel lines, followed by a border of vertical parallel lines, three horizontal lines, criss-crossing lines, and finally horizontal lines, with a possible border of vertical lines. Golden, red, and brown; there is some corrosion. Width: 4.5 x 4 cm
