It is subrectangular with three lobes in a row. The front face is undecorated but has six small indentations spaced along it, three along the top and three at the bottom, they are paired up so as to suggest they supported a now lost piece of decoration, possibly cells fro enamelling. The rear of the brooch has the hinge point for the pin and the cathcplate remaining, though both are now incomplete. There is some concretion around the pin hinge.Length: 34.2mmWidth: 14.07mmThickness: 2.06mmWeight: 4.98g
