Description: | Cast copper alloy head stud brooch length 43mm, width 23mm, thickness 20mm, weight 16.48g. Concave cross section wings with a backward facing lug at either end. Both lugs have a hole in the centre for the spring support bar, the spring has been wrapped around the approximately ten times, but the pin missing.
The forward edge of the wings has a squared face covered by scrollwork and a recessed border at the terminal. There is a loop which sits on a small platform on the top of the head, the top of the loop is missing. Below the loop is a small crest 5mm long with a circular recess below that would have held enamel. There is further scrollwork that runs down either side of the leg, which terminates with a circular foot. This foot is concave at the base and would have held a stone. The catch plate on the reverse is heavily damaged and only the lower section remains. The overall condition is good with that artefact retaining its original patina.
