Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy head of an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. The central panel and one wing survive. Measuring 19mm in length and 22.7mm in width. The central panel is raised and has longitudinal boarder rows of small crescentic indentations. There is an integral top knop, which is small and rounded. There is aslo an itegral side knop projecting from the edge of the complete wing. On the back face of the central panel there is a mass of corroded iron, presumably the remains of an iron pin within a pin loop, which is no longer visible. This cruciform brooch head is unusual due to both its small size and its small rounded top and side knobs. It is perhaps most likely to be 5th century in date due to the presence of integral rounded knobs.
