Complete, and well preserved with little sign of corrosion, it is now in five pieces, two of which are detached pieces of the iron pin, the other three being the bow with the knob on top, the wings and a detached part of the left-hand knob. The technique used to make the brooch was as a single casting for the foot and bow and the knob on the latter. The wings are in fact a hexagonal tube made from sheet metal which housed the iron axis bar for the hinged pin and to which was attached, at each end, a knob of quasi-onion shape rising from a beaded ridge. The knob on the bow is of the sa…
