The front surface is domed and has an enamelled sunburst pattern of two concentric rings of triangular cells within a deep concentric groove. The border around this is slightly lozenge shaped with a small knop at the bottom of the brooch and the remains of a small loop at the top of the brooch. The back of the brooch is hollow. There is a hinge pin mechanism with a double pin bar lug and the remains of a hinged pin and fragment of the catchplate. The brooch weighs 4.81g and measure 27.42mm in length, 21.8mm in width and 9.37mm in thickness. A similar parallel can be seen in Hattatt's visual catalogue, Fig.209, No.128.
