The front of the object is decorated with two raised rounded ridges sitting just above its centre. Below this is an extremely sylised animal head, consisting of two rounded protrusions sitting below a recessed chevron. below this is the trace of a snout and the object narrows towards its missing edge. The catchplate is present but incomplete and takes up half of the reverse.
