It measures 46.33mm in length, 15.50mm in max. width and weighs 8.33g.Three coils survive, as well as the chord passing above (which has broken but is complete). Inside the coils is a short length of copper alloy axis bar, the ends of which are slightly expanded to stop the coils slipping (5.7mm and 4.6mm, respectively). The surviving head area measures 15.50mm.
