Description: | Cast copper-alloy plate brooch. Equal-ended with four arms, each terminating in a circular lobe. At the centre is a hole, with two concentric circles around it, with the recessed area between infilled with pale blue enamel, with a narrow central band of ?red enamel. The sides of the arms are slightly concave at their base, and slightly beyond the mid-way point, each of the sides becomes diagonal and terminates in a point, onto which the lobe is attached. There is a recessed area within each arm, but no traces of enamel now survive. Traces of red enamel in two opposing lobes, and blue enamel in the other two lobes. The hinged pin is secured between two lugs. The pin has an extension above the lugs, but no other part of the pin survives. The catchplate is intact.
