Description: | A fragment of a possible early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch for which no published parallel could be found. The fragment consists of a large oval shaped solid full round knob with a smaller circular top knop projecting from its top. This knob is unusual and is decorated with two transverse grooves across its centre. There is a circular double transverse moulding at the base of the knob and then a rectangular plate, this is narrow and its lower edge is incomplete due to an old break and its long sides appear to be complete, indicating that if this is a brooch head it did not have wings. Projecting from the back face of the plate is an intgeral loop which has a mass of corroded iron adhering to and around it. This iron could be the remains of an iron pin. This fragment measures 29.84mm in length and 9.08mm in width across the knob and 9.83mm in width across the plate. | Subjects: | cruciform Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
