Description: | A cast copper alloy small-long brooch, dating to the 6th ?? 7th Century. Small-long brooches tend not to have the side knobs. The brooch has a rectangular head plate, with the trefoil type extensions. These extensions are decorated with incised triangles formed from individual incised lines and raised pellets. The upper part of the bow survives, with a convex arch- with a raised spine down the centre. The brooch is then broken below this, the break is worn. The break has resulted in the loss of the lower bow and foot. On the reverse of the head there is a small, broken central pierced loop. There is iron corrosion around the loop. The metal is badly corroded.
