Description: | Cast copper alloy button-type brooch. The front of the brooch has a central circular setting for a garnet (now missing), which is backed with gold foil. Around this setting is a zone of relief 'ropework', consisting of sixteen divisions representing a length of coiled rope? Around this is a beaded circle, which forms the boundary with the rim of the brooch. The remains of the hinge and catchplate survive on the back of the brooch, but there is no trace of the pin, which was probably of iron. The face of the brooch has substantial remains of gilt.
