Description: | An incomplete copper alloy T-shaped bow brooch.The bow and a fragment of the pin only remain. The wings are short and tubular, housing the copper alloy axis bar for a hinged pin. The front of the wings are both decorated with a diagoal ridge by the head of the bow. The head of the pin is still attached to the bar in a notch between the wings. The head of the pin is expanded from the shaft and has a slight point at one side to press against the back of the brooch to tension the pin. The upper part of the tapering bow is decorated with two parallel, longitudinal ridges which run down to a lateral ridge above the undecorated leg. The foot of the bow is plain and pointed. Behind the foot is an angular catchplate with a hooked outer edge.
