There are two holes at the attachement edge for seperate circular rivets which are missing. The face is very worn but it appears to have been decorated with a series of pellets, possibly forming a diagonal cross and border. Some of the lead weight at the outside edge remains in-situ. It measures 29.09mm in length, 23.08mm in width, 1.22mm in thickness and weighs 6.19g.It is similar to other examples published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, nos 618 and 619).
