Obverse description Schematized head rendered in a vertical axis, composed of small globules, with four wavy locks radiating on either side to suggest hair. The field is populated with multiple globules, pointed annulets, and crescent motifs in a characteristic Celtic abstract style. The design is framed by a circle of rings and pearls, with a peripheral bead border enclosing the entire composition.
