The rectangular panel has a central ring-and-dot with four more around it, each side knop has a line of five ring-and-dots, and further ring-and-dots are visible on the top knop, although they are partially obscured by corrosion. Rectangular panels form facets at either end of the bow, which has a median arris and is flat on the reverse. The footplate consists of a rectangular panel with a central ring-and-dot, with half ring-and-dots along either edge above a rectangular facet to either side before one triple and one quadruple ribbed half round moulding, below which the brooch is broken and the terminal missing.On the reverse of the head-plate is a single pin lug, surrounded by iron corrosion. There is further iron corrosion on the almost complete rectangular catch-plate.Head-plate 26 x 17mm, central panel 12 x 9mm. Surviving length 48mm.
