The handle is a 'U' shape with one terminal curved outwards and down forming a 'n' shape. The 'U' section is circular in section and varies slightly in diameter, one side edge is slightly wider than the centre. The 'n' shaped terminal tapers towards the apex of the curve and then the section becomes an flattened oval shape until the end. This end maybe incomplete. The other terminal of the 'U' shape tapers slightly and has a broken terminal, this break is old. The surface of the item a few spots of a light green patina, however the majority of the surface is a red/brown colour.

A thick wire which appears to be distorted into a three dimensional 'S' shape. The wire section varies between sub-circular and sub-pointed oval. The terminal are curled in a 'U' shape. The wire at the fold of this curl becomes abruptly more narrow and then widens at the tip. Where it is narrow, the patina is very smooth suggesting wear. The shape of this suggests something, has been suspended from these terminals.
