The head is sub-circular though much of the original edge has been lost to old and worn breaks. A raised circular boss with central depression is present on the top of the head. From the reverse, a short and very worn section of a circular sectioned shank extends. The metal has a light-green patina and is worn. The button and loop fastener is 23.4mm long, 21.3mm wide, 10.6mm thick and weighs 6.3g.This is possibly a variant of Wild's type Va which date to the late 1st to 2nd century AD.
