The outer edge of the bow is decorated with three vertical ridges, one in the centre, and the others at the side edges.

This footplate has a central vertical ridge with two fine linear grooves as decoration. Both of the side edges is decorated with a curvilinear groove and radiate lines. On the reverse of the footplate there is a fragment of the catchplate remaining. On the outer surface gilding is visible. The reverse has a well developed dark green patina. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 500
