Description: | The upper part of a bow brooch of La Tene D2 type; a boss-on-bow type brooch. The lower part of the bow, most of the spring and pin, and the catchplate are all missing. The prominent boss tapers into the bow at the upper end of which is a prominent rounded knop set between a pair of smaller grooved knops. Below this, on the outer part of the bow is a V-shaped moulding, which may be zoomorphic. The flat bow is bordered on either side by ridges and is bent and broken off, together with the catchplate. Projecting from the inside of the boss is one loop of the wire spring and pin.
