This is surrounded by two concentric rings, the inner one holding patches of red enamel, the outer one patches of green enamel. Each zone of decoration is separated by a raised ridge of metal. On the reverse the catchplate is intact, and the pin is broken off, although the hinge and ?spring? still move freely. Part of the rim is broken off, and part bent upwards. There is a scratched line across the central circular panel, and possibly another very faint scratched line at right angles to that (forming a cross).
Diameter 23.8mm, thickness of metal 1.1mm, thickness of brooch inc spring & catchplate 5.8mm, weight 2.96g.
