Punched annulets follow the sides, the edges of the ears and the top edge. The latter also has ten short nicks. At the top of the hollow-backed bow a flat triangular area continues as a median arris down to a transverse rib at the base. Opposed rounded notches in the edge of the footplate. Ancient break. On reverse a double pin lug with remains of iron pin bar, and intact catchplate. Unusual for the absence of a panel on the headplate. Surviving length 53mm, width 38.5mm. 6th century.
