Description: | The brooch is fragmentary and is heavily-corroded, missing the leg and pin (with a surviving length of 30.2mm, a surviving depth of 12.0mm and a weight of 4.6g). The missing spring was secured around a central and single pierced lug, now heavily-truncated and surviving as a rib. The trumpet-head is oval (11.0mm high and 7.5mm wide) and the corrosion has removed all decoration. The upper bow narrows (to 2.3mm) before swelling (to 5.5mm) at the button which has also lost all detail to corrosion. Below the button, the leg thins to a point through corrosion and there is the suggestion of a rib on the rear, possibly the remnants of the catch-plate. The surface has a pale-green to brown corrosion.
