Description: | Cast copper alloy Wirral Type bow brooch.
The brooch is not complete. The headloop has broken. The pin is hinged, only the very top remains. The bow is broken before the foot and only a small line remains of the catchplate.
The head is stepped, it has 2 steps. Each is decorated with vertical lines (beading). The upper part of the bow is split into 3 longitudinal panels.
