The device depicts a classical style portrait on one side, and a double handled vase holding three flowers on the other. Circular suspension holes re presnet on either side. Impressions of the matrix were not taken.It measures 17.2 mm in length, 15.3 mm wide and 3.3 mm thick. It weighs 3.9 g.The intaglio is a mid to dark green colour with an even surface patina.
