The wing has concave mouldings and a band of three narrow ribs. The bow is flat backed and tapers very slightly. The sides of the bow curve inwards slightly; the front is almost flat with a reserved band of three ribs. Surviving width 16mm, surviving length 20mm. Similarities to an example from Snettisham (Mackreth in EAA 93, 2001 Fig 31 no 10) but that has notched ribs giving a zizag effect.
