Description: | Copper alloy brooch, T-shaped/hinged type. Missing pin and enamel, fairly worn. Possible iron hinge bar (not magnetic) but ?lead (white) corrosion also inside towards the ends of the arms. Hatched band moulding at arm terminals. Flat D-section bow with slightly convex back, slight taper. Groove along each edge. Central panel with V-grooves at top, main area has reserved central lozenges in enamelled background (traces of ?red). Circular projecting foot with deep centre dot. Length 41mm, width 33mm. Not closely paralleled - some similarities to "Sawfish" type, also to Hattatt no 932. Possibly a western rather than E Anglian type?
