Cast copper alloy brooch, quadrangular or lozenge-shaped, made up of four crossing arms each terminating in a Borre style animal's head. The heads are linked by short bars giving the quadrangular or lozengiform shape. In the middle of the brooch is a central cross. Its underside bears the remains of the pin mechanism, two flat lugs that held the pin and the catch plate. The brooch is in poor condition with much loss of surface, a condition which is typical of this class of object.
