Its incomplete length is 30mm, wingspan 16mm and weighs 4.28g.The axis bar appears to have been iron and probably still in situ. Much staining remains around each open end of the wings and where the pin would have been. The loop extends from a short rectangular platform 9mm long at the centre of the top of the wings. It is c.7mm in diameter and just under half remains.The bow projects from the front of the wings and is traingular in section at this point, before turning downwards at a sharp angle where is flattens (it is slightly hollowed on the reverse). It is decorated with three vertical ribs and corresponding grooves between. The bow extends 23mm before it is broken (old break).1st-2nd century.
