The head of the brooch is ovate with a hinge pin mechanism on the reverse flanked by attachment lugs through which a bar is fitted that curves to form an articulated attachment loop with a rectangular collar.

From a central point the head tapers to form the circular sectioned upper bow which swells slightly towards a circular acanthus moulding which is flanked by a collar. The bow extends slightly before terminating abruptly due to a break. The foot and catchplate no longer remains.The metal has a mid brown-green patina and is worn. The brooch is 54.87mm long, 24.65mm wide, 6.94mm thick and weighs 23.91g.Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt, p.326, fig.185 no.1529 and are dated to the 1st - 2nd Century AD.
