Description: | Head and bow of copper alloy cruciform brooch, with a single full-rounded knob projecting from the top of a narrow rectangular headplate. There are faint traces of an incised line running just inside either edge of the headplate. An irregular projection from the base of the knob on the reverse may be a result of miscasting. A single perforated integral lug on the back of the headplate has the remains of an iron spring surviving. The bow of the brooch has a sub-rectangular cross section at its junction with the headplate, and a flattened rounded section for the rest of its surviving length. The brooch, which has an even green patina, appears to be rather worn, and has some pitting on its surface. The fully rounded knob places the brooch in Aberg's Group I, and it dates to the second half of the 5th century AD.
