Copper alloy Rosette/Thistle type brooch. Damaged pin and missing appliqué on central plate, fairly corroded. Lines on spring cover very worn. Humped reeded upper bow joins a lozenge shaped central plate (with traces of a central circular appliqué) with the reeded lower bow. Small circular hole in the catchplate. Width 19mm, length 37mm. Type as King Harry Lane Fb, e.g. Fig 99 G 68 no.3 and Fig 89 G14 no.3. Small size and single small catchplate piercing are probably late in the series, examples from KHL phase 3 = c. 40-60.
