The front face of the bow may be decorated with a very worn central longitudinal ridge.This brooch measures 22.58mm in length, 33.15mm in width at the wings, 8.50mm in width at the bow, 4.49mm in thickness, 6.36g in weight.There is a similar example recorded by Hattatt (Hattatt, 1989, p. 300, no. 899).
