It measures 43.08 mm in length and weighs 8.07 g.The wings are are tubular and have a width of 20.81 mm. The reverse of the wings are missing along with the copper alloy axis bar.The bow extends from the front of the wings. At the top of the bow is a circular recess, which was possibly enamelled. At the central part of the bow is a panel of enamelled cells. The central feature of this panel is a column of horizontal lozenges; two columns of inward-pointing triangular cells flank the lozenges. It is likely the cells would have been enamelled but no traces of enamel survive. This continues and narrows to above the foot at a width of 4.41 mm. The foot has a circular recess with a circular band around, these were possibly enamelled.To the reverse the catchplate extends 4.50 mm in depth behind the bow and foot.
