For a parallel, see Read, 2001, p. 28, no. 308.The mount has a drop-shaped central portion and terminates at each end in a decorative lobe. The larger of these lobes is similar in form to a scallop shell, with deep grooves radiating outwards from the adjoining narrow end. The second lobe is smaller but of similar form to the first. The upper surface of the mount is slightly convex, while the reverse is concave. Situated at opposite ends of the reverse are two integral rivets, both of which have been bent inwards.The artefact is bent and corroded. It measures 36.1mm long, 20.4mm wide and 13.3mm thick (including the rivets). The weight is 5.06g.
