A gold brooch which was broken in two. Some 59 mm long and 46 mm wide, it is in the form of a wreathe, with a scroll-like banner wrapped around it. Visible in four places, writing in capital letters. Due to wear of the gold, as well as the fact that the banner is wrapped it is difficult to decipher.
The letters seem to run in four groups, along the following lines: " ...N R I... ...I A F T... ...T O V I... ...N O....I... ".
