There are two rivet holes, one in front of the other, both have copper alloy rivets still in place. The rear most rivet hole has two concentric rings around it with a starburst style incised lines around the circumference.

Artefacts such as this have been discovered in excavations and have been found to predominately date to the 15th and 16th centuries such as the examples discovered in the York excavations (Ottaway & Rogers, 2002, 2937-2939
