The inner pendant is in the shape of a fleur-de-lis with a convex reverse and a central hole. The top leaf of the fleur also extends into an elongated loop internal to the frame and is attached by a copper alloy hinge.

The pendant is 43.2mm long, 21.3mm wide, 4.7mm thick and weighs 6.6g.A similar example can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database Unique ID: WAW-135BF7.
