A fragmented silver rosette, missing its top portion, features a smooth, raised dome at its center. Rounded, petal-like ridges radiate from this dome toward the curved outer edge. The dark, reflective surface shows small patches of muted green oxidation. While the bottom and side edges are smooth and circular, the broken top edge is jagged and uneven.
