Bust, probably representing a goddess, made of riveted sheet bronze. The base has a repoussé design of monsters. The right hand is cast, and she is holding a horned bird (also cast and added separately). It is not certain whether the bust once formed part of a full-length figure. Originally a skirt was attached, made of horizontal strips of bronze sheet decorated with animals; only fragments survive.
