It is missing the back plate due to old breaks, now worn.It is flat and crescentric with an oval shaped aperture and four circular rivet holes, three still contain the remains of separate copper-alloy rivets with flattened round heads. The front face is decorated with grooved narrow border containing diagonal grooves. At the base of the plate is an integrally cast terminal that is trifoliate with open work decoration in the form of a fleur-de-lis with three small circular holes. The back face of the plate is concaved to accommodate the now missing back plate.
