BROOCH

Unique ID: SUR-796245

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

The head and bow from a small square-headed brooch. The bow has a central ridge with narrower parallel ridges on either side. The head plate has a raised three-sided strip which encloses a panel with raised decoration. This appears to contain two sub-oval shapes but this is unclear, apparently due too poor casting rather than wear.

Class: Small square headed
