The break at the other end is well patinated suggesting that it occured in antiquity. The surface of the mount is decorated with a row of chip-carved lozenge motifs. Two lozege shaped motifs extend at 45 degrees from the final lozenge before the break. The front is gilded. The reverse is undecorated and has no points for attachment.The fragment is 12mm in length and flares from 5mm to 8mm. It is 1.5mm in thickness.
