The central lobe is the largest and is convex to the front with a concaved reverse though this is now filled with corroded material. The front of this lobe is decorated with cross-hatching resulting in an acorn shell design. The smaller terminals are undecorated and from the reverse of one the remains of an attachment rivet survive.The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and is slightly worn. The object is 16.1mm long, 8.3mm wide, 2.5mm thick and weighs 0.9g. A similar example can be seen in Egan & Pritchard, p.214, fig.134, no.1161.
