Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Trumpet type with enamelled wings giving a fly shape. Missing spring, pin; damaged catchplate, spring lugs; corroded surfaces and margin. The pin was sprung between two pierced lugs on the edges of the head which is hollowed. The wings contain traces of enamel, discoloured to a pale green; there were only two cells. The footknob appears to be a plain sphere rather than lobed to form an insect head but is corroded. Length 27mm, width (wingtips) 15mm.
