Description: | Cast copper alloy fly brooch with enamel inlay. Each wing inlaid with two panels of enamel, the outer panel, in mid-blue survive but the inner panels have been lost. The terminal (fly's head) is made up of a circumferencial moulding and a groove, the fly's head is formed from two notches, the space between them foming a nose-line bar. The head of the brooch is trumpet-like with a broken lug at its end. A coiled spring, supported by two lateral lugs, survives as does the 1.0mm diameter pin. Overall condition good.
