Description
A small ear, head, or hair ornament; it is a J-shaped pointed implement that tapers downward to a curved point, with three tiny hollow projections that would once have held inlay on one side and a stylized ram's head ornament at the opposite end of the piece; it is decorated with several incised parallel lines along the length of the ornament, and there are jagged tooth-like projections along the same side of the object as the fittings for inlay.
