Below the bow when holding the brooch headplate uppermost are two sets of lappets, both the upper (nearest the bow) and the lower, are decorated with a central line of single dot and ring either side of which are 4 (two either side, one upper and one lower) punched dots with multiple concentric rings. On the reverse of the headplate are two lugs separated by a highly corroded iron coil spring, the catchplate runs down the centre of the upper of the two lappets, there is evidence of mineralised organic material on the reverse of this brooch from the headplate down to the foot.
