Chariot Handle Bar Cap
A round, domed metal cap shows a silvery surface inlaid with dark red-brown scrolls, spirals and small dots arranged around a central boss. Interlocking curling motifs fill the face, with a green-tinged attachment visible at the left edge.
Look closer: A small red-orange stone or enamel inset sits on the attachment at the left edge.
