The upper surface of the brooch bears incised text and two incised five petalled flowers within a circumferential border. The text is worn and incomplete rendering it illegible. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The metal has a dark greenish-brown patina and is worn. The brooch is 32.4mm in diameter, 7.4mm wide, 2.1mm thick and weighs 3.4g.Similar brooches are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard (2002), p.254, fig.164.
