Description: | A copper-alloy late Anglo-Saxon brooch. This brooch is in the shape of an equal armed cross. It measures 30.5mm by 27mm in size as two opposing arms have been bent downwards slightly making their overall length shorter. The front face of the cross has a central circular boss and there are boarder grooves around each arm which end with three grooves in each of the expanded terminals of the cross. On the flat back face the remains of the pin hole and the opposing pin catch can be seen. One terminal also has a small circular hole through its tip. It is unclear what this hole was for, perhaps it allowed a chain to be attached to this brooch and another or perhaps it is evidence of later reuse of some kind. This brooch is similar to another example from Great Blakenham (West 1998, 126, fig 10, no 12).
