An incomplete possible zoomorphic mount. At one end is a flat, trefid terminal with a central circular attachment hole retaining a long, circular sectioned rivet. The remaining part of the mount tapers to a probable break and is C-shaped in cross section, hollowed at the rear and convex along the longitudinal axis at the front. The upper surface is decorated with two small projections flanking the upper part of the C-sectioned element (possibly ears), two oval incised shapes (possibly eyes) flanking the central ridge, and two smaller incised ovals (possibly nostrils) flanking the ridge towards the tapered end.
