The artefact is an openwork design with a lozenge shaped body that has an X-shape in the centre, which in turn divide the body into for separate lozenges. The area where the arms of the X cross over are thickened as are the areas where the X joins with the lozenge and the corners of the lozenge itself. There is an attachment loop at the top protruding from the corner. At the bottom corner there is a rectangular expansion with two revert holes this than turns back on itself to form a almost right angle on the reverse side of the object.
