Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Headstud variant brooch. The brooch has cylindrical wings in cross-section containing a copper alloy axis bar; the pin is missing. The wing terminals are each decorated with a single vertical groove. There is a complete integral suspension loop in the centre of the wings above. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section and comma shaped in plan, tapering to a forward facing foot. At the top of the bow is a pointed oval moulding. The moulding has a stepped perimeter and is triangular when viewed from the side. The bow below the moulding is decorated with a row of lozenges of reserved metal set on a rectangular panel. The resulting recessed cells would once have contained enamel however none now remains. The catchplate is missing.
