A outer band is visible along the outer edge of the mount (c. 2.2mm wide) which is not gilded. The central section of the mount is decorated with an intertwined twisted band that is decorated with two grooves. This intertwined band coils around six pellets each spaced c. 6mm apart. A small circular perforation is located between the outer band and the intertwined band. To the reverse are three projections with flattened heads which are circular in cross section and c. 3.5mm in length. They are not eqidistant. Evidence of iron corrosion is visible to the reverse suggesting two of the projections were attached to an iron plate (at least 32.5mm in length) to which the third was not attached.The mount is 45.0mm in length, 12.2mm wide, 5.85mm maximum thickness and weighs 6.81 grams.
