Description, scan 7
A circular metal disc shown flat against a pale background. A raised, notched rim surrounds radiating double ribs that run from a central boss pierced by a small hole, dividing the surface into rounded, petal-like panels. The surface is dark and encrusted, and the rim is chipped at the upper left.

A single small rounded object, pale grey with darker shading along its lower right edge, is shown centred on a pale card mount. A small round hole sits near the middle of the object, and a faint mark or line crosses its right side. The object's surface looks worn and slightly uneven, and its outline is soft in this copy.
