    "description": "Two female figures holding torches, perhaps deities, are represented rather crudely in gold repoussé relief. There is a hatched border at the sides, cursory \"egg-and-dart\" pattern at the rounded top, and dotted zigzags at the bottom. A corrugated loop on the back served as the attachment.",
