It weighs 5.29g and is 28.9mm in incomplete length.The wings are tubular with a hinged pin and span 26.2mm. Only the head of the pin survives in situ. A double groove flanks each open end of the wings, to the front only.The bow is flat and 11mm wide where it extends from the wings. Slightly off-centre at the top of the bow is a broken projection from which the loop would have extended.The upper bow has a groove flanking both long edges. Between are three (again off-centre) lozenge-shaped cells which would once have held enamel. To the reverse the bow is slightly hollowed. The bow tapers to 7mm wide below the last lozenge. Beyond this the bow is D-shaped in section, being curved to the front. It extends a further 6mm before the (old) break, at which it is 4.2mm wide.1st-2nd century in date. Cf Hattatt no.908.
