The frame of this pectoral is curved and has been embellished with colourful inlays. It depicts a chapel with an elaborately dressed and bejewelled figure of the godShed. He is shown with a side-lock of youth and a quiver with arrows hanging from his shoulder. In his hands he holds serpents and gazelles, and he is standing on two crocodiles. The animals as well as the kilt and face of the deity have been chased in gold leaf. The torso and other body parts were inlaid in a red material which is now lost. On the back of the pectoral the principal details have been chased into the gold leaf.
