The wings are undecorated. The bow is flat backed and tapers slightly to a flat end. The bow has a centre rib at the top, below this the narrow flat central area has a central groove and traces of incised zig-zag and it is flanked by broad concave mouldings. The catchplate has a large triangular hole and a pin groove. Width 25mm, surviving length 56mm. Large Colchester derivatives of this type with fluted sides may be early (cf Skeleton Green).
