Description: | Copper alloy umbonate brooch, this has a circular domed plate that is decorated with two small concentric rings in the centre, this is surrounded by two concentric lines of triangular cells which covers the main surface area of the brooch. Traces of blue enamel still remain in the outer line of cells, but no enamel remains in any of the inner cells. An expanded rim with a recessed border surrounds the plate this has four evenly spaced projecting knops arranged around the rim. One of the knops is larger that the other three and on the reverse forms the mount for the pin support, opposite are traces of the catchplate. In the centre of the reverse is an integral hook that has been bent flat against the body of the brooch, this is an uncommon feature and is probably a repair that acted as an additional catchplate when the original one failed.
