Overall, the object measures 16.8mm long, 8.1mm wide and 5.1mm thick. It weighs 0.88g.The object is formed from a single rectangular 0.6mm thick copper alloy strip. The outer face is decorated with a series of five ring-and-dots in a line along its centre. There is the outer edge of a sixth ring-and-dot at the broken end. Each of the dots is a circular piercing. On either side of the line of ring-and-dots is a grooved linear border running the length of the object. Near the intact end is a larger circular piercing measuring 2.2mm in diameter.The object could be a fragment of a bracelet but the metal seems to be too thin.
