Description: | In plan the guard is a very wide and curved '' shape with rounded terminals. At the apex of the curve there appears to be a vertical rectangular socket which is encrusted and therefore filled. The wide of the guard, from the view above, tapers slightly towards the terminals. The underside of the guard is slightly concave. The surface of this is slightly rough. The surface of the guard has a brown coloured patina which appears to be due to iron staining. There are missing patches of patina which expose a copper alloy under the patina.
