Description: | Incomplete silver-plated cast copper alloy central roundel of a trumpet derivative or composite plate brooch, inlaid with enamel within frames of concentric circles. The enamel is now a white to yellow colour as it has decayed. Evidence of silver-plating can be seen on the back of the roundel and on the longer of the two projections. The roundel stands proud of the two projecting arms in profile, and it may also have had two projecting lobes on either side of it, but the edges of the roundel are too corroded to be sure. There is no evidence of any ridges or mouldings on either of the extant arms, which suggests that the brooch is more likely a composite plate brooch and not a trumpet derivative brooch. On the reverse of one of the arms beyond the central roundel are the remains of where the catchplate would have attached to the back of the brooch.
