The brooch has been bent at a right angle approximately mid-way along the length of the bow. It measures c.64.21mm in total length, 10.75mm maximum width, 1.63mm minimum width, is 7.57mm thick and weighs 6.43g.The head is divided into two rolled wings divided by a central pin slot. The wings are rolled forwards to accomodate the iron axis bar for the hinged pin mechanism. The corroded remains of the axis bar are still present. The pin is missing. The bow tapers along its length to the foot and is undecorated. The catchplate extends from the reverse of the foot and terminates in an old break. The brooch has a mottled green/brown patina.Cf.
