The head is lost and was of uncertain form with a V-slot on the rear. The arched bow is slender with straight sides, gradually converging to the eroded and pointed foot (with a width and thickness at the head of 4.0mm and 2.4mm respectively). A low rib on the rear of the bow defines the remnants of the catch-plate. All surface detail and decoration have been lost top corrosion. None of the original surface survives with a stripped dark-brown surface.
