The front of the mount is convex and decorated with concentric circular patterns, including the outermost ridge there is a three step pattern up towards the centre of the object with a single incised circle around a protruding orbicular pellet which has been centrally perforated. The reverse is concave and undecorated, there is a central, rectangular, integrally cast shank with an old break. There are also some residual casting seams on the reverse either side of the shaft.
There is a small amount of damage to the lower aspect of the mount, a bend in the outer most edge which has caused splitting within the extent of the bent portion.
The metal is a dark green with lighter green and some brown corrosion.
