Is the noun modifier "among them a portable anti-tank rocket and a wheel-mounted recoilless rifle" an appositive or absolute phrase?

Higgins was looking at videos coming out of the Daraya region when he noticed several weapons that he had not yet documented in Syria, among them a portable anti-tank rocket and a wheel-mounted recoilless rifle.

It seems to me that the entire phrase is modifying weapons.

So the phrase has a noun and Among them --prepositional phrase . what does that make it?
