Description: | Copper alloy Sawfish brooch. The brooch has an integral suspension loop above the wings. The wings are cylindrical in section and contain an axis bar for the hinged pin. The pin is copper alloy and is approximately 80% complete. There is a small vertical crest on the top of the bow. The elbow is slightly arched, wide and flat in section, tapering to a forward facing circular foot. The two sides are corrigated giving it a 'sawfish' nose appearence. The face of the bow is decorated with a rectangular panel containing a vertical row of five diamond shapes and eight triangles in the recesses. The recesses are enamelled and although very worn, the enamel as seen today appears to be yellowish-brown, and red. The circular forward facing foot contains a smaller central ring containing yellowish-brown enamel, as does the recessed band to the outside of the ring. Catchplate on reverse of foot intact.
