The bow is decorated with a pettled waist moulding, below and above which are two plain transverse mouldings. A vertical groove decorates the centre and each edge of the leg of the brooch. The foot is rounded and almost complete. Just above the foot is a transverse moulding. On the rear of the object the catchplate is incomplete. The object has a dark brown patina and is in good condition.Similar examples can be found on p131, Hattatt, (1987).
