The handle measures 36.1mm long, c.35mm wide and 11.9mm thick. The rod itself measures of 7.1mm wide and 6.8mm thick.The lug is broadly ring-shaped with a collared, oval-sectioned projection on one side. The rod behind the zoomorphic terminal of the handle passes through the central perforation of the lug. The lug measures 25.3mm long, 18.1mm wide and 6.8mm thick.
