It is formed from a single piece of sheet metal, which does not appear to have any joins or overlaps. The chape is now flattened. It is 25.94mm long, 11.22mm wide at the broad open end and 4.88mm wide at the blunt tip. It weighs 0.92g. It has a mid green patina where the original surface survives, but has significant patches of lighter green and orangey brown corrosion.
