Description: | Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. The head of this brooch is now missing due to an old break, now worn. The bow and the foot survive and measure 54.9mm in total length. The bow is 24.7mm in length and 7.8mm in width, it has transverse ridges where it joins the flat panel. The foot is complete but worn, no decoration can be seen on the half round panel. There is a narrow horses head terminal (30mm in length and 4.7mm in width), with bulbous eyes and a tapering snout terminating in slightly flared nostrils. On the back face of the foot the worn catch plate can be seen. The narrow horse head terminal of this brooch is similar to those of the early cruciform brooches from Suffolk illustrated in West (1998, fig 145, no 1-5).
