Integral to the upper edge of the stem there is a sub-triangle with rounded edges and two flat faces. Each face has a stamped annulet towards the upper corner, making the artefact look like the profile view of a stylised bird head. The surface has a well-developed mid grey/green patina which is slightly pitted. It measures 18.32mm long, 13.64mm wide, 4.47mm thick and weighs 3.35g.The surface condition and style of decoration suggests it is probably of a Roman date. The function is unknown.
