The brooch is symmetrical, comprising two elongated flat triangular panels joined in the centre by a slightly arched panel. The panel is decorated with three transverse ribs. Both triangular panels are decorated with two long facets creating diving the panel into three narrower triangles. The central triangle extends slightly on either side. The reverse contains a pierced tab and an incomplete lug.This brooch is similar to several others on the PAS database, e.g. CAM-DBA386, NMS-95E7F6 and SF-AE0C83.
