This repoussé gilt copper alloy roundel with pearl and lotiform borders depicts an elaborate Shivalinga (literally, the "sign" of Shiva)　inset into a circular and tiered base symbolizing the female principle (yoni pitha). It is set under an honorific parasol (chattra) supported by a floral archway. An ascetic with piled hair (jata mukuta) carrying a waterpot (kamandalu) makes an offering. A devanagari inscription on the roundel’s plain inner area describes several types of donations, including the "umbrella of flowers." It furnishes a date of (Nepal samvat) 188, corresponding to 1068 CE, and mentions a king of the Thakuri Dynasty (circa 600-circa 1200) of central Nepal, Arjunadeva (also known as Nagarjunadeva).
