The strap hoop is formed of hammered sheet, each end perforated, with a plain wire threaded through the gem and corresponding hoop perforations. A wire loop is loosely wrapped around the hoop. The gem is engraved with the foreparts of two winged horses joined in a clockwise whirl, with a single tendril in the field. For the subject, see nos. 276-287 and pl. X in J.
