Description: | A copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, 95mm in length. The top knob appears to have been cast with the brooch and is half-round, the side knobs are no longer present so were likely to have been integral. The central panel measures 13mm by 13mm and each wing 17mm in length by 9mm in width, no decoration can be seen on the head. The bow is arched and concave behind, it is 20mm in length and has faceted corners. It has flat panels to the top and bottom, the bottom panel has three transverse grooves running across it. The half-round panel is 5mm in length and the brooch has a horse-head terminal with prominent eyes and fused nostrils marked by a V-shaped cut. Below the terminal there is the remains of a suspension loop. On the back face the catch plate and hinge remain.
