Disc with Repoussé Lions
Five striding lions appear in relief around the disc, within a border of embossed domes. A separate domed rivet is attached to the center of the disc; perforations for four other rivets appear on the edges, with only one still in place. The hammered disc has a slightly irregular edge; the raised portions were probably hammered over a form and refined on the exterior, as indicated by the impressions on the interior.
