It survives in fair condition with some surface corrosion.It is similar in form to a more decorative example from excavations in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 147, fig.96, no.703), which belongs to a group that dates to between c.AD 1270-1450 (ibid. 24, fig.12).Length: 25.47mm, width: 7.98mm, thickness: 2.85mm, weight: 1.30g
