In the form of a youthful male, with curly hair, flat hat and golden earrings. Created from a vibrant turquoise blue and opaque white, with carefully worked details in darker blue and yellow gold. There is a loop attachment at the top of the head which suggests this item was used as a jewellery pendent.
