| Obverse description | Circular cast bronze rouelle of wheel type, featuring a broad outer rim connected to a central raised boss by four curved spokes radiating in a swastika-like pinwheel arrangement, creating four open trapezoidal voids between the spokes. The spokes are cast in relief with a rounded, rope-like cross-section and curve uniformly in the same rotational direction, imparting a sense of movement. The central hub is slightly elevated and roughly circular. The entire surface is covered with a thick patina of sandy earth tones interspersed with green and red cuprite corrosion products, consistent with prolonged burial. No inscriptions or legends are present. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the same wheel-form design as the obverse, with the outer circular rim, four curved spokes, and central boss visible in essentially identical relief, as befits a cast object. The surface exhibits comparable burial patination with sandy encrustations and spots of green and red oxidation. The open fields between the spokes pass entirely through the piece, confirming the openwork construction. No legends, marks, or distinguishing devices differentiate the reverse from the obverse. |
