The strip is sub-rectangular and flat. One end is broken, but the other end has a transverse collar and then a slightly flaring terminal. This shape makes it unlikely to be part of a pair of tweezers, but it may be part of some other toilet article or a decorative embellishment. The centre of the strip is slightly arched. It is not clear if this is intentional. The terminal is decorated with a single ring and dot, and the rest of the strip is decorated with very faint further ring and dots and transverse incised lines. The reverse is not decorated. It has a light green patina. It has a length of 29.23mm, width 4.82mm, thickness 1.01mm, weight 0.67g. A small piece of copper alloy strip dating from the Early Medieval period.

This object and the attached records were recovered from a site which may be the location of an Early Medieval moot site, though later disturbance makes the site difficult to interpret. Archaeological work including trial trenching in advance of development has not yet revealed any further evidence. Most of the finds recovered through metal detecting are Early Medieval; material of this date is rare in West Yorkshire.
