Fragment of a silver band arm-ring, comprising part of one edge. The fragment has been cut off on three sides and one end has been clipped. The front face is decorated with three rows of stamped lozenges, each containing one pellet. The stamps in the outer rows are arranged vertically and the central row horizontally. Two rows of stamped triangles, points facing inwards, decorate the outer edge, the inner row with an incised line beneath it. Several diagonal cuts are present on the reverse face, which have slightly deformed the shape of the fragment. Four nicks are visible.
