The plate is circular with ornate moulded decoration comprising an equal-armed cross with central pellet and semi-circular strands in between the arms; all encompassed by a border of pellets that is interrupted for a rectangular attachment loop. The hook is distorted out of alignment and is broken across the curve (length of remaining pin 9.81mm). It is difficult to determine if the damage is contemporary or post depositional. The hook is narrow (width: 2.57mm) and had a D-shaped cross-section. Dark green patina.Dimensions: length 30.31mm; width 16.39mm; thickness 1.80mm; weight 2.81g
