Description: | Fantailed trumpet derivative, similar in many respects to Hattat IARB 449, but with larger circular central boss and side lugs. Trumpet head flattened into a sub-rectangular wing-like form with 2 moulded 'tram lines' at the end of either 'wing', inside which is a raised area with incised transverse lines. Chain loop broken off at junction with head. Large central bow 'disc' which has 3 registers all enamelled - colours indeterminate, divided from the bow by a single cross rib at the top with incised vertical lines, and three cross-ribs below, the middle of which also has incised decoration. The disc is unusual in having 2 side knops reminiscent of a hod-hill type. Typical fanned tail with central triangular depression showing remains of enamel, below which is a single moulded cross-rib with incised vertical lines. The copper-alloy pin is fitted on a hinge in an almost cylindrical casing, catchplate intact.
