The plate terminates in an angular collar at the juncture of the plate and hook. The hook is formed from an integral projecting rectangular hook which would have tapered to a point and been recurved. The recurved aspect is missing due to an old and abraded break.Read Class E Type 3. P 406, No 418The metal is a dark brown in colour with areas of light green corrosion.
