Gold setting from the centre of a plated disc brooch or composite brooch. The setting, which is heavily worn and damaged, consists of a crumpled set of cell walls, within a circular frame. The frame is encircled by a collar made up of two strands of beaded filigree wire flanking a flattened Z-twisted beaded filigree rope. The central field, now empty of its settings, contains the remains of a single cruciform cell with short dividing walls radiating from it to the circular retaining wall.

From the corners of the central setting, four radiating strips of flattened beaded wire, set edge-on, divide the disc into four segments; within each segment, the glass cabochons are flanked by stylized foliate plant sprays executed in the same edge-on bea…
