The keeled bow with a large central boss, integral pin and rectangular footplate. 55.9 grams, 72 mm
From the family collection of a Surrey gentleman since before 1960.

It belongs to the category of Greek catch plate brooches, although the rectangular footplate is substantially reduced compared to the Greek prototypes. -
