Formed with a hinged collar with turned rolled edge, attached to single plate front and rear, connected by a rivet at the left and secured by a stud and keyhole slot at the right, the front plate formed with a medial ridge and extending to a point, the rear of slight ogee form, with sunken border with plain inward turns to edges, decorated with brass rivets (possibly later replacements). The gorget has possibly been adapted to fit an armour.
