The item was initially covered with gold leaves, traces of which have been preserved. The entire surface is decorated with a low relief scene of an open-air peak sanctuary crowed with horns of consecration, in a superb landscape composition with a mountainous landscape in which wild goats are sitting on the top shrine or leaping about among the rocks and birds are flying in the sky. Late Neopalatial Period (1450 BC)- Heraklion Museum.
