Separate centrally placed rivet with circular rove, now hard up against the reverse of the mount. A lobed loop is suspended from a very similar, but complete example from
Tattenhoe, Buckinghamshire (Ivens et al. 1995, 336, fig. 153, no.64. The narrow end has been chopped. This suggests that a multiple mould was used. Gap between reverse and rove 3mm. 13.5 x 10mm.
