Description: | Headplate from an Anglo-Saxon, late florid cruciform brooch. The corners of the inner plate are decorated with human masks, indicating that it may be of the developed anglian form. A crescent and raised dot decoration from the outer plate survives on either side, however the breaks are fairly uniform and may indicate that it was purpously cut or broken. The object is broken vertically down the centre of the headplate.Almost identical published parallels come from Empingham II, Rutland (graves 73 and 81) and Broughton Lodge (grave 8) in Notts.Timby, J.R. 1996: The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Empingham II, Rutland.
