This decoration has a central stem which terminates at the top in a fleur-de-lys terminal. Angling upwards from the base of this central stem are two further stems, each with a three-pronged terminal which protrudes from the outer edges. Similar terminals are located at each of the two bottom corners. On the reverse are two integral rivets, aligned vertically, one at the top and one at the bottom.The surfaces of the mount are very corroded. It measures 24mm high, 23.7mm wide and 6.8mm thick (including the rivets). It weighs 4.66g.
