Description: | A cast copper alloy umbonate brooch with enamel decoration. A circular, domed brooch decorated with two concentric bands of triangular recesses around a central circular recess. There is a concentric groove around the central recess and an outer groove around the edge of the brooch. There are four equally spaced lugs around the outside of the brooch, one over the hinge point for the pin, one over the catchplate, one smaller side lug and one incomplete side lug. The triangular recesses retain traces of coloured enamel, alternating between blue and red in both bands. The hinge for the pin has two lugs to house the iron axis bar. The tapering pin has an expanded head for tensioning and is bent out of shape. The catchplate is hooked and has also been bent. The edge of the brooch has also been damaged so that part of it has come away from the domed centre.
