See PAS BH-C32BC8, found Hertfordshire; SF-436AC7 found Suffolk, "It has two pairs of lobe-ended tendrils springing from a triangular mask with two drilled dots for eyes at the top of a central calyx, flanked by further tendrils and springing from a cinquefoil terminal."; NMS-FDC8C8, found Norfolk, "The main body is decorated with a central anthropomorphic figure cast in high relief. The head is ovoid (an inverted egg-shape) and the eyes and mouth are illustrated with subtle indentations.": NMGW-591C1F, found Wiltshire, "The openwork design is symmetrical about the vertical central axis and possibly comprises a vertical stylised anthropomorphic figure but is also vegetal in form. The standing figure may be depicted with a headdress flanking the oval apertures at the apex. The figure’s head is heart-shaped with two eye indentations and tendril-like arms forming the lower edges of the central apertures. The strap-end is thickest at the figure’s head (at 4.3mm). The sides of the strap-end are curved above the base with a central floral device, comprising a central pellet encircled by five pellets. When held with the attachment edge at the bottom, the tendrils define a floral stalk and leaves."; NMS-199370, found Norfolk, "The cast open-work plate has an anthropomorphic symmetrical plant with two pairs of lobe-ended tendrils springing from a triangular mask (worn with two drilled dots for eyes) at the top of a central calyx, flanked by further tendrils and springing from a cinquefoil terminal, each foil with a drilled dot. Slightly hollowed behind mask and tendrils."; SF-FF7B12, found Essex, "decorated with the stylised design of a central figure flanked by animals in profile."; NMS-6E4D49, found Norfolk, "anthropomorphic symmetrical plant with two pairs of drilled lobe-ended tendrils springing from a triangular mask, with two drilled dots for eyes, at the top of a central calyx, flanked by further, broken, tendrils and springing from a sub-circular terminal with three ring-and-dots.";
