Measures 36.52x16.20x1.67mm and weighs 2.37g.The sub-circular openwork plate consists of a central crosshatched object, probably a pinecone or pineapple, with a V-shaped moulded area beneath.

At the top of the plate is an integral rectangular suspension loop 12.49mm wide (internal dimensions 8.80x4.39mm), while a D-sectioned shank (3.09x1.82mm) extends below, with a worn break just as it begins to curve into the hook.Cf.
