Rosette consisting of eleven thin petals surrounding a small conical boss, separated from it by a shallow moulded ring. The petals are spaced evenly with reserved spaces between them. The whole design is mounted on a circular base, 4.4mm thick with a concave edge and 4 moulded ridges around the circumference. 

Attached underneath the base is a thick, perpendicular cuboid fitting with two perforations and a concave lower edge decorated with mouldings. Two fragments of wire found with the rosette were probably originally threaded through the perforations, now no longer attached. The upper surface and sides of the base are gilded.

This rosette was proably once attached to the smaller Knutsford hoard trumpet brooch, MOL.2015.90.2.
