Bulla
The bulla consists of two circular convex sheets joined, the seam masked by a twisted wire between two smooth wires. Worked in repoussé on the front are a warrior and a horse; the back is plain. The two suspension rings are formed of a hollow hoop and a circle of twisted wire. The stopper is missing.
