The fibula has an arching bow and a simple flattened catchplate folded into a U-shape. The bow is covered by a series of raised horizontal ridges. The spring is triple coiled. The pin is circular in section and flattened out to a square-section at the coil, becoming circular again at the juncture with the bow.
