A circular bronze and silver brooch, aged with a green patina, features a raised, dome-shaped center. The dark brown and green surface, interlaced with copper-colored corrosion, is detailed with three concentric rings of patterns: small hollow circles at the outer edge, larger circles with central dots in the middle, and a central point decorated with circles. These repeating circular motifs create a textured, symmetrical design radiating from the center.
