Description: | A copper-alloy small long early Anglo-Saxon brooch, 59mm in length. The head plate is square and has three knops, which are flat and semi-circular in shape. The head plate has a circumference groove and the knops have two grooves along their long edges. The top flat panel also has two transverse grooves. The bow is convex and 17mm in length and 11mm wide, it is faceted at both ends. The flat panel beneath it has two pairs of transverse grooves running across it. The half round panel has one transverse groove through its centre. The foot of this brooch is mising due to a old break. On the back face the pin loop, with the corroded remains of an iron pin within it, and catch plate are complete. Similar brooches have been found at Lakenheath (West 1998, 230, Fig 112, No 1).
