The larger piece has a conical top and is made up of several curved sections that taper down to a smaller, rounded end. It is positioned on the left at an angle, with the top pointing up and to the left. The surface is scratched and pitted. There are two bands of gold around two joints. The smaller piece is oval shaped with a flower-shaped protrusion on one side. It has a strap and buckle on the bottom. Its surface is also scratched and pitted with a band of gold around the edge.
