A moulded line in relief at the back of the head separates the front of the brooch with the reverse, with two long cylinders on the back of the head acting as lugs for a hinged pin, now missing.

A separate headstud was inserted through a hole in the top of the bow where it joins the head. The headstud consists of a circular base, trapezoidal in section on a cylindrical shank, with the top of the stud retaining a a circule of red and blue enamel, with a smaller circle of red enamel circumvented by a crescent of blue enamel on three 'sides'.
