A circular silver rosette features a raised, rounded center. Ridges radiate from this central dome to an irregular outer edge, creating a floral pattern. The metal surface transitions from a dark patina in the recessed grooves to a bright metallic glimmer on the raised petals. A small patch of orange-brown oxidation marks the lower section, and a slight indentation appears on the rim on our right.
