Description: | Incomplete, copper-alloy small square-headed brooch. Square headplate, with raised square moulding which is flattened on the surface, followed by a further square moulding and a solid square at the centre. There are a series of V-shaped engraved motifs between the moulding and the outer edge, although the edges on two of the sides are incomplete. Gently arched bow, 6mm wide, with a longitudinal moulding which extends as two arms from the square moulding on the head, joins at the centre and becomes two arms again at the lower bow. Expanded foot which is sub-lozengiform in outline and which expands out slightly at the incomplete foot. The foot has an almost lozenge-shaped solid motif at centre which extends from the moulding on the bow, surrounded by a double lozenge-shaped moulding which both extend to the foot. Single perforated hinge. Pin missing, but traces of iron corrosion behind the head. No trace of the catchplate now survives. No trace of gilding on the upper surface.
