Description: | Cast copper alloy brooch length 23mm, width 22mm, thickness 9mm, weight 8.21g. This is probably a head stud variant although the loop on the head has corroded away. That artefact has a hinge mechanism, with hollow wings supporting the pin support bar, there is a off centre slot at the back of the wings where the pin would fit, only a fragment of which remains. The forward edge of the wings has a squared face, there is a small amount of red enamel on the left wing, suggesting that the whole of the face may have been enamelled. On the front of the head is a circular recess which would have held either a stone or enamel, and on either side is the remains of red enamel. The leg is truncated at the top so the catch plate is missing. The overall condition is poor with corroded eating away at the whole object leaving a light green, pitted surface.
