At each end there is an integral sub-oval terminal, convex at the front and flat at the rear. Each terminal is pierced with a circular hole for a separate rivet. The holes are countersunk at the rear, one rivet is missing and the surviving copper-alloy rivet is flush at the front. The upper surface of the central oval part is decorated with four horizontal grooves which have three raised ridges; these ridges have a number of vertical striations across them creating a cross-hatch pattern.This mount has a dark greenish brown patina and has concreted soil within the grooves.Height: 20.6mm; width: 9.5mm; thickness: 3.9mm.
