Description

An oval, medallion-like object photographed face-on against a grey backdrop, with a loop for suspension at the top. A figure in long garments stands in profile in relief, with a long rod or staff running diagonally across the field from upper left to lower right. The figure stands on a narrow base line, and the surface shows some wear and small marks.
