The brooch measures 42.16mm in length and weighs 6.54g.The tubular wings span 25.51mm and both ends are slightly damaged, showing a white substance inside. To the front each end is decorated with a transverse groove. To the reverse is a slot for the pin, surrounded by iron corrosion.The bow extends from the top of the wings and is 8.01mm wide and D-shaped in cross-section. It is decorated to the front with a prominent mid-rib for c.18mm. An additional moulding flanks either side of the bow for c.14mm. The bow narrows to 2.23mm wide at the recent-ish break, where it extends backwards 5.89mm into the top of the catchplate. The lower bow (and the wings) are rather pitted and missing the original patina.
