It is roughly semi-spherical, flat at the base and rising to an uneven rounded apex. There is a large perforation, somewhat off-centre, of internal diameter 8.2mm, running from base to apex. The artefact has a light grey patina. It is 20mm in diameter and 11.7mm high. It weighs 18.81gm. The shape fits into Coppergate Type A1 which was in use form the 6th century onwards (Walton Rogers 2007).
