Decoration consists of six wavy lines, each consisting of double rows of punched addorsed triangles, and six intervening straight or almost straight lines of the same. In addition short lengths of similar double rows are found within each bend or wave, about ten to each wavy line. Length >41mm. Diameter 14mm. Height 32mm. 13th century.
