The semi-circular terminal has a scalloped edge and has a central rivet hole with a separate copper-alloy rivet through it. The rivet is circular in section with a knob on the top. Around the edges of the rivet hole are traces of gilding. The square terminal is divided into three even panels with two vertical lines. The central panel is filled with a row of incised vertical chevrons, though they are quite worn. The back of the square terminal has an integral circular-sectioned rivet in the centre. The length of the mount is 38.3mm, the maximum width is 17.0mm and the weight is 5.61g.
