Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon brooch, probably a cruciform or small long type. The bow and a fragment of the flat panel survive, the rest of this brooch is missing due to old breaks, now worn. It measures 26.5mm in total length and 10mm in width. Faint transverse grooves can be seen where the bow joins the flat panel, otherwise no other decoration is visible. On the back face of the fragment of flat panel the remains of the catch plate can be seen, it is extremely worn. This fragment was found in association with several other early Anglo-Saxon brooches and atrefacts and is likely to have been originally deposited in a grave.
