Description

Bronze. Flat triangle pierced in each angle and in the middle of the base. Through the piercing at the apex is a large suspension ring; from the piercings at the middle and one of the angles of the base, similar smaller flat triangles are suspended; the piercing at the other base angle is missing. Each of the triangles bears on its face three circles each composed of engraved concentric circles; the larger triangle also bears three peripheral bands composed of short engraved lines; the middle pendant triangle has three holes pierced through its base, presumably for the suspension of further pendants.
