Two integral lugs project from the reverse of the wings through which an axis bar is passed. The distorted remains of a pin are looped around the axis par and terminates in a pointed break. A D-shaped sectioned bow extends centrally from the front of the wings tapering steadily in width to a double collared rounded foot knop. The upper surface of the bow appears undecorated except for a raised integral headstud knop.The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is worn. The brooch is 41.8mm long, 16.2mm wide, 6mm thick and weighs 8.2g.Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt, p.333, fig.192 and are dated to the 2nd Century AD.
