Description: | A complete copper-alloy ansate (caterpillar) middle Anglo-Saxon brooch in good condition. It measures 56mm in total length and 15mm in width. The bow is rectangular in shape with a flat top and sloping sides. The flat top is roughly lozenge shaped and decorated with an incised cross with a small circular boss in its centre and one small circular boss in each angle. The sloping sides of the bow are decorated with parallel longitudinal border grooves. The terminals are also roughly lozenge shaped and flat, again with an incised cross with a central boss and a boss in each angle. On the back face of the terminals both the catch plate and double pin bar lug can be seen. There is corroded iron around and within the double pin bar lug this is likely to be the remains of the bar and the iron pin.
