The brooch measures 49.45mm in length, 10.85mm wide and weighs 2.47 grams.The top of the brooch has the remnants of one of the two arms that curled forward to create the attachment for the pin. The brooch is slender and almost circular in section. There appears to be some horizontal linear decoration at the top. There is also a raised rib down the centre of the front of the bow. At the bottom of the bow, the remnants of the catchplate extend out from the bow.Cf Hattatt (1989) A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches p 318 no 834.
