It measures 16.31x11.18x(max)4.19mm and weighs 1.38g.The plate is made out of sheet copper alloy 0.88mm thick, and is roughly 'shield-shaped', being semi-circular at one end with a rivet close to the edge. This has a circular rove to the reverse. There is a rectangular projection at the other end, on top of which is fixed the bar-mount (C-shaped in section) with a single rivet and circular rove to the reverse.Examples from London date from 1270 to 1450 (Egan & Pritchard 1991, p.158). Cf. nos.732-9.
