Rectangular, gold-brown fragment of a band with occasional metallic glints. Dark grey, light grey, and gold-brown stylized vines wind across it, with a four-legged animal in the lower left and upper right and a bird in the upper left. In the lower right, the vine curls in on itself, branching into three sections ending in clusters of three, light grey petals. A line cuts vertically down the fragment, slightly off-center.
