Description: | A cast copper-alloy Aesica or Hook-Norton type brooch. The brooch has cylindrical wings in cross-section; the pin is missing. The bow is highly decorated and comprises a squat triangular body with a triangular wing to either side. The body is decorated with a rib down the centre that splits to form a small triangle with the top of the foot. The wings are recessed and may have once contained enamel however this is no longer visible due to a coating of oil or polish applied by the finder. The waist of the brooch is narrowed and ribbed. The foot is triangular and divided into three smaller triangular panels, each recessed to take enamel. There is a small catchplate on the reverse.
