Description: | Copper-alloy T-shaped brooch; Lower Severn type. Headloop, with slightly irregular perforation. Cylindrical wings; one of which is only one-third intact (wing W: 22 D: 4-5). The surviving wing has a transverse engraved line on the front side only, at the terminal. The bow is set almost at right-angles to the wings and is straight-sided and hollow at the reverse. The upper bow has a series of four lozenge-shaped recesses within a rectangular panel. No traces of enamel survive within or around the lozenges. At the centre of the bow is a button with a simple acanthus motif on the upper surface only, which is hollow at the reverse. There is a transverse ridge below. The lower bow tapers to a simple foot, with two engraved transverse lines. The hinged pin is missing, but there are traces of the corroded iron axis bar. Deep catchplate intact. Dark green patina.
