Description: | A copper-alloy incomplete small long early Anglo-Saxon brooch. The head survives with two of its side knops, the head plate is square and side knops flat and integral and are of the trefoil headed type. Near to the outside edge of the two surviving knops there are semicircular indentations forming a boarder. The bow is 20mm in length with a central longditudinal ridge at its base four transverse grooves. The flat panel survives and has a raised transverse band in its middle with six close transverse grooves across it. The rest of the brooch is then missing due to an old break. The pin catch and attachment are visible on the back face. Similar small long brooches have been found from Mildenhall, and many other areas of Suffolk (West 1998, 235, Fig 117, No 3).
