Description: | Incomplete copper alloy sawfish brooch. The brooch has cylindrical wings in cross-section containing an axis bar. The pin is missing. The wing faces are decorated with a deep vertical trough with an incised line to either side. Suspension loop at the top. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section and has two half-rounded mouldings at the top of the bow. There is a tear drop shaped moulded boss with a recessed centre just below this. The recess may have once contained enamel however none remains. Below the boss is a vertical row of lozenges which alternate between being solid and recessed. Very degraded now whitish enamel remains in some of the recesses in and around the lozenges. The foot is reeled and slightly forward facing. The catchplate is broken. The object has been tinned or silvered.
