The brooch measures 38.24mm in length, 23.34mm maximum width, 2.94mm wide at the base of the bow and weighs 6.21g.The head exhibits cylindrical wings. The wings house the remains of the axis bar and are divided by a central pin slot for the hinged pin, the base of which remains. The outer tip of each wing is decorated with a single partly - circumferential groove. The bow tapers from a width of 6.47mm immediately below the head to where it ends in the catchplate.. The catchplate is present andcomplete. There is a pronounced longitudinal ridge which runs from immediately behind the head to the base of the bow, leaving a concave profile on both sides of the ridge. There is a recess immediately behind the pin slot which may be an extension of the slot or which may have held a stone or glass.cf Hattatt 2007 p299 no. 363
