Only one of the two side arms survive, and this is rectangular in cross-section, tapering in thickness towards the terminal. The arm is decorated with two transverse grooves at the terminal. The hoop is decorated with diagonal grooves. The finger stop projects outwards from one side of the central block. The shank of the stop is rectangular in cross-section and has a flat scallop shaped terminal. The shank and terminal is decorated with four longitudinal grooves on either side. Probably 14th or 15th century. The arm measures 10.55 in width and 4.7mm in thickness. The finger stop is 21.5mm wide at the terminal. The length from the terminal of the finger stop to the other side of the hoop is 41.6mm.
