Description: | Foot from a copper alloy cruciform brooch. The foot is broken at the base of the bow. The break is well patinated and rough. A semi-circular lappet sits to either side of two rectangular flat panels, each of which have a small central facet on the outer edges. Below this is another faceted rectangular panel. The terminal of the foot is zoomorphic with two raised prominant eyes, a vertically ridged snout with decorated along its length by a row of chevrons and two flanking rows of punched circles. The snout is crescentric with a projection pierced latterally. This projection resembles a suspension loop. Another example with such a terminal was found at Ixworth, Suffolk (West, p218, fig. 100.7). Catchplate on reverse. The reverse is slightly concave between the catchplate and the terminal loop. | Subjects: | Cruciform Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
