Oval pendant with the bust of a female carved in relief with a wide plain border on either side. Her hair is worn in a topknot (possibly a cap) with the side hair pulled back in strands to frame her face. The draperies around shoulders suggest a shawl worn over a cowl-necked dress. A decorative suspension tube runs across the top of the pendant. Both surfaces are dull. Eboracum described it as "...has a lug at the top perforated for suspension....a horizontal oval pendant.... exhibits centrally on a flat ground a draped female bust in relief with hair arranged in a double parting on either side of a central chignon or cap."
Reflective spectroscopy analyses by Allason-Jones and Jones 2001 produced an optical reflection of 0.43%, identifying the material as Cannel Coal.
