Each of the four rib ends is terminated in a roundel, flat on the underside. Thta which is furthest from the others (the bird's head,, if making that analogy) has a triangular projection, which is rather beak-like.The mount is filled-out either side of the ribs with a diagonal forming between adjacent roundels.The underside has two (now broken, ancient breaks) lugs extending either side of a slightly hollowed area, directly behind the central area of the mount.Measures 40.4x14x3.6mm and weighs 5.06g.16th-17th century in date.
