Iron axis bar surviving in the hinge. A concave transverse moulding at the top of the bow with an expanding upper bow below. A narrow centre rib (?notched) is flanked by a plain convex area, then a deep groove and an edge rib. The side knobs are acorn shaped. The lower bow has transverse mouldings (rib and two grooves) at the narrow junction with the upper bow. the remainder is a leaf shape with slightly scalloped edges and a centre rib defined by lines of punched dots. Further curved punched dot lines are just visible. The catchplate is pierced by a single circular hole. Width (top) 12.5mm, length 35mm. The upper half has similarities to Riha 1979 nos 863-864; the lower bow shape is similar to the entire bow of Riha 1979 nos 1008, 1009.
