The terminal is a solid oval shape, and in the standard form of an animal's head. The surface has moulded decoration of lines and grooves running from a ridge at the top, and representing stylised ears, eyes and snout. The rod handle fragment is circular in section and protrudes for a length of 10.7mm, and is incomplete due to old breaks. The terminal measures 15.23mm in length, 20.3mm in width and weighs 21.28g.
