This example is trapezoid, with the animal head in the upper centre of the front, woth circular openwork holes to either side. There is a kidney-shaped perforation to either side of the mid-scetion of the mount, whilst the lower section of the mount is missing (the break is worn). There are two rivet holes at the top edge of the mount, one of which retains an iron rivet. The mount has a reddish-pink patina, and is extremely worn. It measures 38.54mm by 25.3mm and is 5.63mm thick. Weight is 12.51g.
