There is a loop which sits on a small platform on the top of the head, the top of the loop is missing. Below the loop is a small crest 5mm long with a circular recess below that would have held enamel. There is further scrollwork that runs down either side of the leg, which terminates with a circular foot. This foot is concave at the base and would have held a stone.
