Description: | An Early Anglo Saxon developed cruciform brooch. It has been badly broken and crudely repaired. The plain 'head' has an integral, flattened knob at the top. The pate has been snapped in half diagonally and the edges are all broken. The bow is chamfered - except for the junctions - and has a medieal groove. The rectangular section which forms the lower part of the bow is decorated with a row of small V-shaped stamps with dots inside. Just below the bow two semicircular lappets issue from the sides of the brooch. Each lappet has a pair of eyes set in multi-ridged eyebrows. The rectangular panel between them is plain. Below this are three transverse bars. The protruding eyes of the zoomorphic foot remain but the nostrils are missing. On the reverse the catchplate survives at the same level as the lappets and a single lug survives in the centre of the head plate's reverse.
