The box-shaped oval bezel is decorated at the sides with a lozenge design in finely granulated beads and contains a filigree gold flower bouquet with blue-green glass paste under a domed rock-crystal cover. Two volutes form the transition to the hoop, which is composed from strands of gold wire, overlaid with filigree motifs resembling the knobs on Herakles' club, intersected at the base by a small garnet cabochon set on top of a Herakles knot and flanked by an ivy leaf-shaped setting on either side. This example is very similar to one found in the Oppenländer collection in Stuttgart, see B. Segall (op. cit.), pls. 60,1-4.
