The base of each terminal is decorated with three conjoined transverse triangles.The hoop is oval in cross-section and is decorated behind each terminal with fourteen grooves on the outer face. It is then undecorated for a gap of 10.10mm before three more grooves. The back of the hoop and internal face are undecorated. The object has a dark green patina and is corroded in places.
