The object consists of a zoomorphic head which tapers downwards before thickening in the centre and curving outwards to form the hook. The mouth of the animal is open and the top of the noise or bill is decorated with horizontal grooves. The neck of the animal is decorated with lozenges. The hook is C-shaped in plan and rectangular in cross-section. The terminal of the hook has broken away.A similar example is no.55, p38, Cuddeford (1994).
