The figure is standing, to the right. With his right hand he holds the cornucopia, symbol of abundance; the left hand is raised towards the face, in its typical gestures. The effigy, of magical and protective power, is engraved on a large, slightly cabochon two-layered honey agate on a white background. Slight crack at the bottom left.
