Description: | Cast copper alloy T-shaped brooch, length 22 mm, width 11mm, thickness 2mm, weight 2.66g. The wings are hollow tubes that would have held the spring support bar, the left wing is missing. At the back of the wings in the centre there is a slot for the pin. A small loop with a narrow base projects from the top of the head. The side of the head are stepped but otherwise plain. On the knee of the brooch is a raised rectangular mount for enamel, with the remains of blue enamel in the centre. Below this the leg narrows, however the leg is broken shortly after the knee, this is an old break. As a result, the catch plate is missing
The overall condition is poor, most of the surface has been badly effected by corrosion resulting in a patchy light green colour with mid green patches.
