The head is sub-oval and has a circular chain loop (bent) at the top. On the underside, two lugs hold a central axis bar.

The foot is circular in plan and has a flat bottom. On the underside of the brooch is a closed catchplate, the lip of which is missing. The surface of the brooch has remnants of a tinning or silvering.

It weighs 6.08g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 50
