The nose of the animal has a double chevron on it. The expanded, rounded nostrils have a multiple line chevron across the top and a border of punched dots along the rounded edge. At the terminal of the nostrils is a loop, which is turned 90ยบ to the brooch. On the back of the brooch there are traces of iron corrosion, which would suggest the brooch had an iron pin.
