It measures 40.4mm in length and weighs 3.0g.The remains of the wings span 14.2mm and consist of a cylindrical spring cover and spring mechanism which has mostly been lost - what is left has become detached from the spring cover. The bow projects outwards just below the top of the wings before bending inwards then outwards again about halfway down the bow. On the upper surface of the bow are four vertically parallel grooves running down the length of the bow. On the reverse there is a small fragment of the remains of where the catch plate would have been fixed. The reverse is plain with no decoration. The artefact is light green in colour.
