This object has the shape of a flat disc, whose exterior diametre is 3,1 cm. The thickness of this disc varies between 0,2 and 0,3 cm. The top surface, which is slightly rounded, is polished and relatively well fashioned while the flat bottom surface shows a few irregularities. A small section of the disc is not as thick as the rest and shows wear marks that could indicate that, if it was an earring, it was suspended by the central opening, which is 0,6 cm wide, and that there was friction in this area in particular. This object is associated with an identical but fragmentary disc (see L 2342 (b)).

Cet objet prend la forme d'un disque plat dont le diamètre extérieur est de 3,1 cm. L'épaisseur de ce disque est irrégulière et varie entre 0,2 et 0,3 cm. La face supérieure, légèrement bombée, est polie et relativement bien travaillée, alors  que la face inférieure, plate, présente un certain nombre d'irrégularités. Une petite section du disque dispose d'une épaisseur moindre et montre certaines traces d'usure qui pourraient suggérer que la suspension, s'il s'agit d'une boucle d'oreille, passait par l'ouverture centrale de 0,6 cm et frottait plus particulièrement à cet endroit. Cet objet est à associer à un disque identique mais fragmentaire (voir L 2342 (b) ).
