A gold sculpture of a reclining stag features a head tilted upward with legs tucked beneath the torso. Stylized antlers sweep back across the body, forming ten open circular loops. A pointed ear and circular eye sit on the head, while simple, etched lines mark the neck and hindquarters. The figure has smooth, rounded surfaces and is shown in profile facing right, with no other fine details.
