Description
The plate is in slight relief, with a hollow interior and two semi-annular fixing rings at the neck and flank of the animal. It is a young deer, identifiable by the still short horns in a semicircle above the ears, depicted in profile with its legs gathered under the body. Since the left side is visible, only two legs with overlapping hooves are represented. The mouth of the animal is rendered with an incision, the eye with a slightly raised circle, while the tail is a small bump at the end of the body
