| Details | A single plate without rim; the copper is of a brown colour which Pargiter assumes to indicate a high iron content. A circular seal, 7.3 cm in diameter, is attached to the left side of the plate. The seal has a low double rim with small scrollwork on both sides. The surface is countersunk, but the emblem is in high relief projecting above the rim. The emblem is corroded to indiscernibility, but the legend in the lower one third is legible. |
