All three surfaces have incised line decoration, including small triangular areas of cross hatching and false lettering.One terminal is incomplete and at the other is a small projection of about 1mm with a circular cross-section . This may be part of a pin constrcition. Similar brooches with annular frames and false lettering may be see in Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos. 1308 and 1313.
