The tubular wings are decorated on the front only with two incised lines flanking each open end. One of the tubular wings is bent and broken at the reverse, exposing the intact axel bar inside.

It is topped at the head by a loop and the bow has two rows of three triangular cells, separated by a vertical rectangular cell, as decoration. There is no trace of enamel. From the wings, the bow edge is flanked on either side by a groove. Below the groove and cell decoration are two pairs of horizontal moulded decoration before the break. Incomplete length 31mm, bent wingspan 25mm. 1st-2nd century. | 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: | 1
