The faceted bow that joins the arms curves in a shallowly raised arc. The diagonal sides of the arms are decorated on their upper surface with punched annulets.

A fragment of an early early-medieval gilded copper alloy brooch or mount, dating to c. 500-650. Of probably original circular form, all that remains of the object is a central boss and part of the external edge. There is no trace of a fixing mechanism to the reverse, which has a rough surface but is otherwise flat. All breaks are old. To the front of the object there is a raised concentric rib around the boss. Between this and the edge of the object is a raised interlace design, perhaps zoomorphic in context. A curving trio of strands centrally situated appear to end in toes close t…
