The piece has a conical head with a pair of deep grooves running across it in a cross shape leaving four triangular copper alloy sections in the quarters. The centre, where the grooves cross, is filled with bright blue glass which projects above the the copper alloy quarters and is worn on top and broken around the sides. One arm of the cross is filled with sealing wax red glass enamel abutting the blue centre. The opposite arm of the cross has traces of similar red enamel fill. The back of the head is slightly convex and from the centre projects a circular sectioned shaft with a thickened, mis-cast area on one side and a worn but possibly broken end.
