The bow curves off the rectangular headplate at the front, and narrows towards the centre. In the centre of the bow is a circular boss with a broken rounded lug to either side. There is a copper alloy pellet in the centre of the boss. The surrounding field is recessed and would have once contained enamel. The foot is triangular and angled slightly downwards on either side from the centre. There is a recessed 'L' shape on the left hand side and a mirrored shaped on the right. The cells would have contained enamel however none now remains. The motifs are set within a triangular rope-like border. There is a catchplate on the reverse. The pin is missing.The surface of the brooch has a bright-reddish patina.
