There is a single rivet hole in the apex loop with the remains of the iron rivet surviving. There are two further rivet holes, also with the remains of the iron rivets surviving, at the base of the mount. The reverse is concave and undecorated and there are the remains of a right-angled flange at the base of the mount in the centre of the lower edge are (L. c.17mm. W. c.3.5mm). The traces of the two lower rivets project from the reverse just above the flange.
