There is a lug on the terminal of each wing, which are projecting to the rear, both have a hole in the centre for the spring support bar, now missing. However, this section is damaged resulting in the holes being split open and the rear of the lug missing. The terminal of the wings has a recessed linear border on the outside edge running from top to bottom. The head sits slightly above the wing and has grooved linear decoration comprising of a line of horizontal grooved lines 2mm long running from the top of the head down the length of the bow. The bow narrows slightly towards the foot, which is missing, catch plate is also missing. The patina of the artefact is mid brown which is its original surface. There is pitting over the whole of the surface and leading edges corners are rather badly corroded. Nevertheless, the brooch is still in good condition. Similar examples have been found at Frocester (35-37, 2000, Price) and would date to the late 1st century into the 2nd century
