Both plates are hemispherical in section and hollow. On the underside of the stud, there extend two circular-section lugs with applied, flat circular end-plates. One lug is positioned between the two scallops of the heart-shaped plate, the other on the comma-shaped plate. The stud measures 36mm in length, a maximum of 29mm in width and 3mm in thickness. The lugs measure 5mm in length, 3mm in diameter, with the end plates measuring 6mm in diameter. It weighs 9g.
