One of the loops of the figure of eight still has a complete fitting attached. The fitting is irregular in shape and served as a rivet with a domed teardrop shaped front plate and a flat teardrop shaped bottom plate with an integrally cast bent attachment loop. Dimensions: 24.00mm Length (of spur fragment); 13.94mm Width (of spur fragment); 3.28mm Thickness (of spur fragment) 21.09mm Length (of fitting); 7.04mm Width (of fitting); 8.18mm Thickness (of fitting); 4.7g Weight (of total item).Cf. Read 2001, p. 60, no. 499.
