Description: | Three-dimensional, hollow bodied brooch in form of a sitting hen with large eye (worn), upstanding comb. Wings folded backwards. Body decorated with short incised lines to represent plumage. Tail is a hooked fin with groove running down its back edge. Uncertain as to pin arrangement, lacks usual lug for hinged pin and catchplate. Two small appendages on either side of the base of the body towards the head-end may have been associated with the catch mechanism in some way. Shows slight overall wear but is generally in very good condition.
