A gold pendant depicts a figure resembling a squat frog facing left. The head features a wide, horizontal slit for a mouth, topped with two small holes and circular indentations. A horizontal seam joins the upper and lower halves of the body, where dark residue is visible. The yellow metal has a polished but uneven surface with no fine details.
