At the thinner short end there is a rivet hole in one corner (alongside the un-notched long edge) measuring 2.9mm in diameter. Arranged diagonally to this and now incomplete due to the edge at this point is another rivet hole 3.1mm in diameter. The notched edge is 1.5mm thick while its opposite un-notched edge is 1.2mm thick.The object measures 36.6mm in length, 16.9mm in width, 2.2mm in max.thickness and weighs 5.44g.
