Below the side knops the object curves forwards to form a hook. The object has a mid-brown patina with gilding visible on the front face of the hook.For a similar example see Read (2008), no.801 for an object with a similar function, but lacking the stud for attachment.Measurements: 24.20mm in length, 6.64mm in width, 9.22mm thick, 2.59g.
