It has a central suspension loop at the top which is turned through 90° to the plane of the main body.

Within a raised rim is a procession of evenly spaced deer walking or running right and forming a circle. Four of them appear to be stags.This pendant has a yellowish brown patina.Height: 32.3mm; width: 28.7mm; thickness: 4.5mm. Weight: 7.73g.It is possible that the object is Central Asian or Chinese.
