Incomplete gilded copper-alloy strip brooch of Weetch's type 31.C. It is lozenge-shaped, slightly longer than wide, with one of the narrower, more pointed corners now missing and the metal at the break bent.

From the photo, the material of the rivets is uncertain; there is iron corrosion around, especially on the reverse, and it is possible either that the rivets are of iron or that they attached a pin made from iron. There is also a circular hole neatly cut through the decoration at one o…
