Umbonate disc brooch with hollow behind. The outer edge of the brooch is almost wholly torn away except for one portion at the tip of the catchplate where there is a projecting roundel. The perimeter of the brooch may have carried further such roundels. The umbo is encircled by a groove and a rib of copper alloy beyond which the extant remnant of the flange is plain. The umbo carries elaborate enamel ornament with a central motif of four conjoined petals with a circular cell at the centre. Set within the field between the petals are four roundels. Only part of the catchplate of the hinged pin remains.
