~~Copper alloy umbonate brooch, this has a circular domed plate that is decorated with a small annular in the centre, this is surrounded by two concentric lines of triangular cells which covers the main surface area of the dome. The lower row of cells is filled with blue enamel and the upper row is filled with lighter coloured enamel that was probably green. An expanded rim with a recessed border surrounds the plate, the edge is heavily damages but remains of a truncated loop are still present on the left side. Also, remains for a second larger loop are visible at the top edge, below this is the mount for the pin; only the very top of the pin remains. On the opposite edge is a projecting roundel with a annular on the top edge, below on the reverse is the catch plate.
