The brooch has a circular bow with a deep channel around the perimeter and a recessed band around the central boss. The band is contains red enamel. The central boss is a moulded raised bulbous knop which passes through the bow and is secured on the reverse by simply flattening its shank. The bulbous knop is decorated with alternating green and red latitudinal bands. The brooch foot is in the form of a fantil and has two pellets side by side in the centre. The surrounding recessed field contains a degraded brown looking enamel. There is a catchplate on the reverse. It is possible that the circular bow once had lugs.
