The decorative front plate has repoussé ornament comprising a petalled motif within a beaded border. Traces of gilding remain, especially near the centre.

Simple one piece-brooch, Nauheim-derivative type with a flat broadly ovoid bow, undecorated, made of sheet metal, which narrows to a wire that forms a simple loop and the pin, both of circular cross-section. The catchplate is missing.
Discussion: the brooch is so small it seems unlikely to have had much practical use, suggesting it was produced for symbolic reasons. For discussion of brooches of this type see Bayley & Butcher 2004, 146-8. For a parallel, see Hattatt 1987, no. 737.

A small silver bow brooch of Roman style. This brooch seems to have possibly been reformed for reuse from an earlier and larger bow brooch. The brooch weighs 2.52g and consists of a rectangular cross-section at the foot (width 2.9mm x 1.7mm thickness) which flares outwards to a width of 3.7mm and thickness of 1.6mm at a diatance of 25.0mm from the foot. The bow then bends over backwards and starts to taper at a distance of c.37.0mm from the foot and the cross-section gradually becomes sub-circular. The reverse half of the bend of the bow forms the brooch pin. The approximate juncture …

Roman silver-gilt brooch of ‘Birdlip’ type.

A fragment of silver Roman fibula of the mid or late first century AD was found on the same site, but is not believed to have been associated with the hoard.
