Possibly a Victorian copper-alloy brooch, pin and spring coils missing. It was possibly worn as a choker on the front part of a high-necked collar (?). The basic shape is that of a Maltese cross; a rectangular-cut gemstone was set in the centre of the brooch, but it is missing today. It was not of very high quality.

A copper-alloy brooch. The brooch is made from coiled wires which create a sub-circular shape in plan. The wires have central, drop-shaped terminals which renders the appearance of the brooch as one constructed by two interlocking serpents. The obverse of the brooch also features irregular incised patterning. Evidence remains of a pin lug and catchplate on the reverse of the brooch, although any pin is now missing. The artefact is probably post-medieval in date.
