The Brooch itself is decorated with a raised central circle, which is then encompassed by a convex hexagonal star with circular protrusions at each point and contains no enamel. A third incomplete circle surrounds this and contains trace elements of a dark grey enamelThe reverse of the brooch shows a copper alloy catch plate which runs along the radius of the object, ending about 1/3 of the way in. An incomplete spring is also shown running parallel to the catch plate and showing a small amount of iron staining.
