Width 9.3mm at the attachment edge, tapering to 8mm at the break. Extant length 36.5mm. Patches of solder on the reverse suggest a forked spacer.- plate with concave attachment edge and round aperture between two rivet holes, broken before outside edge. Width 14.6mm. Extant length 26mm. Solder on the reverse suggest a forked spacer.- front plate, bent double, one rivet near attachment edge, rounded outside edge, with lines of finely executed interrupted rocker-arm engraving giving the appearance of tiny addorsed triangles along the sides and edge. Width at attachment edge 14mm, tapering to 12mm. Length c.37mm. Probably once with a forked spacer.- outer plate, bent, both edges missing, two pairs of lateral notches before incomplete neck of missing knop.
