English description from The Viking World exhibit (Link): Bronze penannular brooch, coated in thin gold silver plates. The silver plates are engraved with meandering animal figures, entrelac, and spirals. In the centre of the ring part is a four-sided, filigreed yellow field. The ends of the rings are curved up, with thin gold sheets. One is shaped like a backward arched dragon's head, while the second creates the pin holder. Above there is a bridge with a gold filigreed animal ribbon decoration, framed by niello carved rope pattern along the edges. On the back edge of the middle of the ring is a dragon's head, mouth agape, filled with teeth. This is also coated with yellow silver plate and thin gold plate. Stray find, Tingstäde Parish, Gotland.
