The circular frame, which has a maximum width of 3.7mm, is flat at the front and has a small step around the periphery. It has six evenly spaced collets which stand between 2.8 and 3.6mm proud of the face of the frame. One collet is empty and has a rounded bottom and the other five have settings composed of an off-white substance, probably calcium carbonate. The face of the frame is further decorated between each collet and takes the form of two lines of stamped annulets, one at each edge, forming a border.Mid-way between two of the collets, in the centre of the frame, is a circular pin-hole, 1.2mm in diameter. The hole contains a copper alloy wire pin-loop. The shaft of the pin is missing. The rear face of the frame is bevelled with a narrow flat border. Numerous transverse file marks are visible on the bevelled face. Diameter: 23.2mm; maximum thickness: 3.6mm. Weight 2.72g.
