Description: | An Anglo-Saxon brooch fragment made from copper alloy, possibly the foot from a cruciform brooch. There is an animal-head terminal with prominent eyes and nostrils and downward pointing chevron decoration. Above this there are two transverse ribs and the foot narrows before widening again, terminating in a break. The back of the brooch is flat with an elongated flat projection at 90 degrees, probably a catch plate. Similar to one in Maccregor and Bolick, A summary Catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon Collections, Ashmolean Museum, page 97, 12.4.
Length 46mm, width 12mm, thickness 11mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wilde, Mary | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
