The short bar has a step midway along its length where is changes in width. It is larger at the end where it adjoins the larger un-knopped loop.The item is 52.27mm long, the knopped loop has a width of 21.80mm from knop to knop, the plain loop has a width of 18.10mm. The plain loop is distinctly uneven in its wear (or original casting)with a thickness of 3.99mm on one side and 2.80mm on the opposite side.
