It is triangular in section with a ridge down the centre of the front and a flat back. Projecting from the back are two integral circular sectioned rivets, one above the other. The loops at the bottom are flat oval lobes at 90 degrees to the main plate. They are pierced to hold a transverse cross bar but the holes are full of iron corrosion, possibly from the bar. There are traces of gilding on the sides. It is 23.9mm long, 8.4mm wide and 4.3mm thick excluding the rivets 7.7mm including them. It weighs 4.52 grams.WAW-260853 with only one rivet and with a more elaborate shape are both similar and still have their attached pendants.
