Earrings featuring an eagle with its wings splayed and a disk with concentric granular decoration arranged in alternate triangles with a central boss. At the top of the disk, there is a trilobed design with a single granular wire filigree. Various elements hang from the bottom of the disk. The eagle's wings are made of twisted wire filigree. On both sides, there are four hanging double chainlinks with notched tassels. For suspension, there is a single hook extending from the end of the disk.
The general structure matches classical prototypes: the eagle was used as a standard by the legions.
