Description: | A fragment of copper alloy cruciform brooch, comprising the lower bow and footplate only. At the top there is an ancient break above half-round moulding, consisting of two low swelling mouldings, both with three transverse engraved lines. At the top of the animal head, the eye-brows are delineated by a pair of engraved lines in the form of a chevron above two slightly protruding eyes. Between and below the eyes a median double vertical row of annular stamps. The lower part of the animal is atypical. In the place of a snout and nostrils there is part of an inverted mask: a transverse bar, T-shaped eyebrows with curving cross-bar and another pair of eyes. The terminal is decorated with dot-in-crescent stamps along the sides and base. Length >37.5mm. Width 16mm. Early 6th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crawford, Becky | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
