Description: | The brooch is a small-long type which can be dated to the 5th to 6th centuries. It is made from copper alloy. The head plate is sub-square. Protruding from the side and upper edge are two flat semi-circular knops. One side edge of the headplate has an abraded edge where the knop is now missing. The bow protrudes from the lower edge. It is a 'C' shape in profile and is an asymmetrical oval in section. The lower edge of the bow is broken, but not recently. The reverse of the headplate has a central vertical lug, which is incomplete. The lug has the remains of a hole. The brooch has traces of a grey/green patina, but is quite abraded. It measures 39.1mm long and 26.2mm wide. It weighs 8.38g.
