Unusual cast copper alloy pommel. The pommel takes the form of two conjoined heads facing away from each other and joined at the back of the head and neck; probably male and female.

A central band of enamel divides the circular face of the brooch into two halves; each half then has a wide border of blue enamel and a small semi circular cell in the centre next to the central band.

This example is likely to have had such lugs although…
