The sides of the plate taper and then expand to form an oval attachment end. A small portion of a copper-alloy pin survives within a pin hole. Two copper-alloy rivet holes penetrate the plate along the median centre-line. There is curvilinear abstract design on the front of the plate.This object is corroded and has traces of a dark green patina.Length: 28.45mm; width: 17.64mm; thickness of loop: 3.59mm.
