Description: | Large copper alloy crossbow brooch, with integral onion-shaped knobs projecting from the end of each wing, and a riveted knob projecting from the top of the bow. The front of the bow has a band of diagonal lines, each with a central dot, running lengthwise down its middle. Two groups of 4 ring-and-dot punchmarks decorate each end of the foot. The pin is of iron, and though present is corroded and broken. Crossbow brooches of this type date to the 4th century AD.
