Description: | The bow head is a sub-oval shape in plan. The upper edge is slightly abraded. The reverse of the bow head has a central vertical lug which is incomplete, thereby there is the remains of a circular hole in its centre. The pin is missing. The bow and bow head forms an inverted 'L' shape in profile. The bow head has moulded decoration consisiting of two pellets with a vertical line protruding from the lower edge of each pellet. The upper portion of the bow has moulded decoration formed by horizontal 'discs'. These 'discs' and the lower portion of the bow are very worn, thereby the style of the decoration is not clear. This wear maybe recent as there is a lack of patina on this surface compared to the reverse of the bow. The bow foot is a conical shape with a small central knop on the base. The catchplate is missing.
