This pendant is fashioned in the shape of a lion, positioned with all four legs drawn up under the body. The right front paw rests under the chin and the left is curled under the feline's chest. The lion has deep, almond-shaped eyes and a tufted mane covering the sides of the head, neck, and shoulders. There are remains of a set of perforations in the muzzle, indicating that the pendant hung vertically. Among animal pendants, the couchant lion type is the most numerous. The tip of the nose, the right side of the animal's muzzle, and the two distal digits of the right forepaw are broken off. There are also small breaks on the right haunch and foreleg.
