It weighs 6.32g.It tapers to a point at one terminal, ending in a small round knop.It swells towards the opposite terminal, which is rounded, but with an incomplete edge. The outer surface is covered with small ring and dot decoration, and 10 can be seen in a line from one terminal to the other. Part of one more ring and dot is visible at the broken edge of the rounded terminal,and the pattern continues around the edges of the strap end. The inner surface is plain and undecorated.
