The catchplate itself is complete with the curl intact. It extends 8.7mm to the reverse from the centre of the reverse of the bow. A groove flanks the curl of the catchplate on the internal edge.
The bow is T-shaped in section - flat with a prominent flat rib 1.9mm wide running vertically along the centre. This is decorated with diagonal incised lines. It measures 5.1x2.5mm at the break, narrowing to 4.5mm wide at the foot.
