Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, disc on bow or similar type. Headloop, wings and the very top of the bow only. The pin was hinged. The headloop is cast on the top of the wings. The wings have a pair of ribs at each end and curve forward into the upper bow. The proportions and shape are closest to Hattatt no. 988 (Hull type 164) which he describes as Trumpet derived with bow plate and fantail although the fragment might relate to a headstud type. Width 18mm, surviving length 14mm.
