One face bears an incised cross potent or cross fitche with elongated shaft, within a border which defines a field resembling a kite shaped shield. The form resembles that of Middle Saxon strap ends though the decoration is of an altogether different style and the provision for attachment to the strap is unknown due to its apparent loss. Bent.
