Description: | This small medallion is formed of the head of a Maenad which sits within a circular border. The head has been sculpted and stands proud of the border. The facial features have been modelled to appear naturalistic although the eye sockets have been left hollow. The texture of the hair has been realistically conveyed - small grooves define the strands and an ivy wreath encircles the head. The hair surrounds the neck, covering the lower half of the border. The object is made from silver gilt. The face and border are silver in colour whereas the hair is gold. The top right-hand corner of the border and part of the left side of the face are missing.
