Description: | Copper alloy cruciform brooch fragment. Part bow and foot only, slightly twisted at the break. The horse head terminal is very worn, but has punched dot and ring eyes and small nostrils; it is separated from the bow by transverse mouldings - three broad ribs separated by four narrow notched ribs and grooves. The bow is flat backed and has two broad longitudinal concave mouldings flanking a central braod rib, on which there may have been punched decoration but most of the surface has gone. The catchplate has iron corrosion in it, probably resulting from the pin decaying in situ. Surviving length 45mm. The brooch is distinctive in having dot and ring eyes (usually projecting) and in the bow form (usually facetted); a West Stow eg (West 1985, EAA 24, Fig 42 no 2)has punched dot eyes and is broadly the same type of foot
