This is an ornate pendant featuring a woman seated atop a bull. The woman is nude, and her arms are outstretched above her head, with a blue and gold sash flowing around her in an arc. Her skin is white with some patches of gold, and her hair is bright yellow-gold. The bull she sits on has a torso made of pearl, adorned with red and gold embellishments. Its head and feet are white with small golden lines. A large jewel is placed on top of its head, between its gold horns. The pendant is connected by a chain link of star-shaped designs with precious stones to the top section which it hangs from, and three dangling pearls hang from the golden base below the bull.
