The brooch measures 32.65mm in length and weighs 4.65g.The wings, head and the upper bow are missing due to an old break. At the break the brooch is rectangular in cross section and 9.35mm wide.

The circles are alternately decorated: five recesses, one lozengeform recess in the centre which cuts the remainder of the circle into quarters with one cell located in each quarter and two semi-circular cells. The lozengeform cells contains enamel, the colour is indiscernible, the cells located in each quarter has no surviving enamel. The semi-circular cells contain yellow enamel. Evidence of tinning is visible on the front face.The reverse is flat and undecorated. The catchplate runs along broadly half the surviving length of the bow and is broadly triangular in plan with an incomplete circular perforation at the foot of the catchplate. The curl is partially incomplete.
