The enamel, most of which remains, is a pale green in colour.Two attachment knops (one complete and one broken) sit either side of the bottom pair of ovoids at the widest point. The internal diameter of the complete knop is 3.22mm. The third attachment knop, almost all of which is missing, is at the end opposite to the hook.16th/ 17th century in date.Cf.
