Cast plate with a beast snout terminal on which are modelled nostrils, eyes and ears in low relief, with an indeterminate patterning, possibly involving interlace, behind, occupying most of the display face. The bifurcated end has lost its stitching holes and what remains is clenched or hammered to produce a spatulate end. Smoothed by wear overall.
