The very flat pendant is composed of a circular disc with a ribbon-shaped extension that merges into an eyelet. Only above the eyelet can a profiling of two lateral and one central bar be discerned. At the back, the profiled area is fragmented, so that something may have broken off or been exposed to strong abrasion. The eyelet and pendant disc are paper thin.
The piece is conspicuous for its brown patina, which is only green in places.
A comparable find was recovered in Surkh Dum-i-Luri (Iran) (Schmidt/van Loon/Curvers. 1989. The Holmes Expeditions to Luristan [Chicago], Pl. 203 d).
The piece can only be determined as Iron Age.
