It is an isoceles triangle in shape with the corners of the shorter side being rounded. A flat edge c.3mm wide flanks a convex area (now slightly dented) at the centre. The edge is decorated with transverse grooves and has equally-spaced piercings (possibly sewing holes, up to c.1mm in diameter) every c.5-6mm. There are slightly larger holes at two of the corners, possibly for rivets (1.5mm diameter). The edge where the third would be is damaged and lost through wear.To the reverse (which has no white-metal coating) the central area is concave.Measures 26.92x22.34x3.44mm and weighs 0.92g. The metal is c.0.30mm thick.
