The wings are undecorated. The upper half of the arched bow is undecorated; at the middle of the bow is a single plain transverse collar, and then the lower part of the bow is flattened abruptly from the obverse and forms an undecorated flared sub-triangular foot with rounded lower corners. On the reverse of the foot, extending up the top of the flattened area, is a triangular catchplate with the returning hook damaged. Fine dark brown-green patina with some light green pitting. Length (slightly bent) 31.0mm, width across wings 24.7mm, width across top of bow 6.7mm, width across foot (slightly damaged) 10.86mm, thickness 15.2mm, thickness across catchplate and foot 9.5mm, weight 7.32g.
