Description: | Early medieval cast copper alloy cruciform brooch, incomplete, 5th-6th century. Integrally cast top- and side-knobs, domed in outline and semi-circular in section, with groove collar. Trapezoidal headplate decorated with a central ring-and-dot and with a ring-and-dot in each if the upper corners (lower corners corroded); rectangular wings possibly each decorated with a row of ring-and-dots (unclear due to corrosion). Arched bow, flat on the reverse; it is unclear it the corners were chamfered. The foot is broken off. Off-centre on the reverse of the head is a single broken lug which would have held the, now missing, spring and pin. Corroded with patchy and powdery light green and light blue-green surface. Length 38.9mm, width across head at knobs 25.5mm, width across centre of bow 9.8mm, thickness 13.1mm, weight 6.53g. | Subjects: | cruciform | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
