This silver patera features a sculptural central medallion depicting a wolf’s head with gaping jaws devouring a human head, all encircled by thick snakes. Surrounding this are two friezes: one showing hunting scenes divided into nine sections, and another, separated from the first by a border of dots, depicting a procession of male and female centaurs arranged in a metope-like layout. A gilded running-scroll pattern (<i>postas</i>) around the rim frames the entire scene. Numerous gilded highlights accentuate the figures. Iconographically, the piece combines Hellenistic and Iberian elements.
