Description: | Early Saxon Part of gilt copper alloy foot of cruciform brooch, of ??berg Group IV or V, both ends broken. Immediately below the upper break the object expands to the eyes. Below a long and slim snout elaborately moulded upturned excrescences project on both sides in the place of nostrils. The break below these suggests the beginning of an expansion, perhaps into a crescentic terminal. The left-hand excrescence is slightly cracked and bent backwards. On the reverse a shallow median concavity ends just above the lower break. A very elaborate and exceptionally slender example. Width 24mm, surviving length 23mm. 6th century. | Subjects: | cruciform Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
