They are decorated to the front only with a thickened band flanking each open end.

The pin has a triangular pierced head and survives to a length of 25.55mm. It is max.1.85mm in diameter.The bow projects in a shallow curve from the top and bottom of the wings, 7.36x3.82mm. It narrows to the (old) break, which is oval in cross-section, 3.46x2.79mm. The bow has a central raised rib and two more raised rib-like mouldings to either side at the top of the bow only.
