Ornamentation, on the chest's front side, consists of two metopes in frames formed by multi-leaved branches at sides, frieze of palm-trunk pattern at top, and a zigzag at base. Each metope contains a sixteen-petalled rosette within concentric line circles, with petals shaped as ivy leaves, and discs in all corners.
