An unidentified copper alloy fragment in the form of a cast, circular-sectioned rod with a flattened rectangular-sectioned end looped back on itself to form a circular terminal. The end of the rod within the looped terminal is flattened to close the loop and bent almost at a right-angle to lie flat against the rod. The other end of the rod is broken. The measured width and thickness relate to the looped end.

A copper alloy terminal in the form of a wolf's head. The neck of the wolf extends into a flat, oval-sectioned curved strip that appears to branch into two where it is broken. The wolf's head is elongated with an open mouth and protruding, pointed tongue. The nose is small and rounded and widens to a V-shaped forehead with slanting eyes below.
