The brooch measures 21.05mm in length, 16.55mm wide, 4.65mm thick and weighs 2.02 grams.The brooch is flat (1.85mm thick) and decorated with a six-pointed star around a single copper alloy pellet. The points of the star terminate in a circular knop. The area between the star and the outside edge carries traces of red and blue enamel. The area inside the star contains red and blue enamel.To the reverse the lug and catchplate are both incomplete due to old damage.Cf. Hattatt 2007 p.344, fig.203, nos.118, 518, 1409.
