Description: | Gilded copper alloy brooch fragment. The 'knob' probably from the side of the head plate of a florid cruciform type in the form of a face mask. The back is flat. Above the face is a thinner flat area, probably the side of the head plate. The face has strong relief curved eyebrows and projecting eyes in a narrower area immediately beyond the head plate. The lower face is in the centre of a broader area with scrolls and curving segments (?moustache extensions) filling the space - the edges are abraded here, and especially around the flat terminal, which is probably near semi-circular. Width 31mm, surviving length 32mm. Comparable in general scale and arrangement to a florid cruciform from Mitchells Hill, Icklingham (West 1998, Pl.III, 2; MacGregor & Bollick 1993, 109 no.12.36).
