A gold amulet depicts a figure with a ram's head and a narrow human body. The head features a textured mane and a protruding snout, while the torso is clad in a short, pleated kilt with a wide waistband. Both arms hang straight down the sides. The figure stands with one leg positioned slightly forward on a thin rectangular base. The polished yellow metal reveals fine details in the mane and pleated garment.
