Description: | Headplate from a copper-alloy cruciform brooch. Both the central panel and the wings are nearly rectangular, the central panel flaring slightly downwards and the wings flaring slightly upwards. The wings have a stamped border around three sides; each stamp consists of a V shape with a part-circle around. The slightly raised central panel has a border of the same stamps down each edge. At the top of the central panel is a half-round top knob cast in one piece with the headplate; it is fairly flat and has a central waist with a groove above and below and a moulded ridge across the top. On the reverse of the headplate is what looks like a single pin bar lug, largely obscured by iron corrosion from the bar and spring. The break at the bottom of the headplate is patinated but unworn. Early Anglo-Saxon, 6th century AD.
