The object is in the form of a conical cap with protruding antlers which have been cut short, giving them a V shape. In front of the antlers and covering the front of the cap are three oak leaf motifs arranged around four 'berries'. The reverse of the cap has a pattern of short incised lines which seem to replicate fur. The inside of the cap has a large area of iron corrison, which may have been a shaft for securing the item onto something.Two identical objects are on display at Bassetlaw museum described as Roman votive pieces.
