Description: | The bow head has is a sub-circular shape in plan. However the bow head has been folded slightly, and therefore is distorted in shape. The bow head is slightly hollow at the reverse. Protruding from the upper edge of the bow head is a circular cross-sectioned wire which is coiled twice before being broken. The break appears to be recent. The bow is flat and undecorated. It is rectangular in cross-section, and gradually tapers towards the foot. The catchplate is solid, and the vertical edge is curled to secure the pin, which is now missing. The metal of the brooch has a green/gold coloured matt patina, with patches of a dark green colour. The metal has not developed a conventional copper alloy patina, instead the metal surface has a smooth matt finish.
