There is a remnant of red enamel in the field surrounding the face. There are six projections radiating out around the edge; only three of which survive. There are worn breaks where the remaining three would have been located. The projection at the apex is lozengeform, while the other remaining projections are sub-rectangular with a slightly scalloped edge. There are no rivet holes, rivets or suspension loops visible. The object is 25.89mm long, 21.43mm wide, 4.18mm thick and weighs 6.3 grams. It has a brown patina and is encrusted with light green corrosion product.
