Maker: Unknown
Circular disc of metal alloy enamelled in translucent green, bluish-green, yellow, purple, and a little blue within a brass (?) outline. A seated woman, possibly a muse. A dark blue robe envelops her legs, but reveals her bare feet. A silver green tunic leaves her left shoulder and breast bare. On her golden hair is a laurel wreath, and a white necklace is around her neck. In her right hand is a stylus, while in her left is an upright tablet of stone and another stylus, while the letters 'L F' are on the tablet in blue.
In the background to right in very low relief, a tree and two small bushes, and on the left, a tower, and a small Greek temple on a hill
