The front face has traces of border grooves and outside the upper edge of this rows of worn triangular motifs can be seen. A more decorative rectangular central panel has quatrefoil motifs in its upper corners and straight grooves across the upper edge between these, the other sides of the panel have rope like motifs. This central panel has two adjacent, now incomplete, central rectangular perforations. Traces of gilding can also be seen on the front face.

It measures 38.22mm in total length, the head fragment is 30.7mm in surviving width and the bow is 30mm in surviving length and 18.5mm in width.The central decorative panel continues on the lower fragment of the head.
