Only one of the plates and possibly a small section of the spacer survive intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks.

At the terminal end there is a central circular rivet hole with separately cast copper-alloy rivet that has flattened round heads and on the back face of the survivin plate holds in place a small fragment of either a spacer or second plate of identical form. A second similar rivet is present at the centre of the attachment end. The entire object measures 51.83mm in length, 8.63mm in width, 1.11mm in thickness and 2.36g in weight.
