The mount is attached to the pendant by a folded edge with a central slot, through which is a copper alloy axis bar which goes through the lug of the pendant. The mount is also plain and has a trapezoidal shaped attachment at the top end with a rivet hole and another near the pendant. The surviving length of the object is 40.7mm and the weight is 12.76g.
