The widest end has a large lug at each side with a rivet hole. Iron corrosion around the holes suggests that they once contained an iron rivets. One of the lugs is incomplete. There is another rivet hole with the remains of an iron rivet near the tapered end of the mount. The mount is highly decorative and has traces of gilding. Between the lugs, the mount is decorated with incised cross-hatching. Below this is a trapezoid with a voided saltaire cross with a single plain cross behind. Some of the decoration has been worn away or is covered with traces of iron corrosion. The surviving length is 65.1mm, the width 45.3mm and the weight is 17.78g.
