The housing is in the form of a rounded boss. The 'C'-shapes have rope-work at their backs and each has a seven petalled flower head flanked at either side by a lozenge. There is also a similar flower head at the centre of each outer edge. In side view the frame is arched.The frame has a mid-green patina and the iron parts are corroded.51.48 x 42.66 x 5.18mm.
