Description: | Cast copper alloy cruciform brooch, with half-rounded knobs and narrow rectangular wings on headplate. One lateral knob is missing. There are remains of two perforated lugs for the attachment of the pin on the reverse of the headplate. A corroded mass of iron between these lugs is all that remains of the spring/pin. The central headplate is decorated with three circle-and-dot punchmarks arranged in a triangular formation in its lower half. There is a zoomorphic horse head design on the footplate terminal. This one circle-and-dot punchmark slightly off-centre towards the left nostril of the horsehead. The brooch measures 60.70mm by 21.59mm by 17.50mm and weighs 8.88g.
