Inside this disc is an applied cross-like textured decoration with a flower centering it. Hanging is a flat dangle attached by jump ring made up of scrolls and a heart-like form. At the very end is a gold drop. On the back which is covered, is a tube hinge, c clasp and pin stem which extends way beyond the clasp. This is probably made of rolled gold.
