Description: | Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch fragment made from cast copper alloy.
The face is decorated in relief and is convex in section, with a hollow-cast back. The fragment comes from the foot of the brooch and is in the form of a horse's head. The horse's two sub-circular nostrils are developed into little Style I birds' heads. There is a fan-shaped extension between the nostrils. | Subjects: | Cruciform Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
