The plate is sub-oval in plan with three broken projecting lugs one at either side of the object and one at the top of the object. The two side lugs are pierced with circular perforations. The missing top lug would have also been pierced. The hook has broken away from the base of the object. The upper surface is decorated with a floral design. This is enclosed by a sub-oval groove which boarders the object. The object has a mid grey patina and is damaged.The object conforms to Read's early Post-Medieval Class A, Type 2.
