Description: | An early Anglo-Saxon small long brooch. The 'head' is missing its original edges but given the shape of the left lobe and the presence of bilobed angles it was clearly a cross potent style brooch. Each lobe of the head is decorated with a row of double arched stamps across the widest part. The bow is steeply chamfered but the joints unshaped creating rectangles at each end. The rectangle at the head end is decorated with a transverse incised line and a triangular notch at each side. The bow has two incised lines running along the ridge. The upper 'foot' has three panels surviving. The first is plain and rectangular the second has chamfered edges and is divided from the first by a thin tranverse incised line. A second line divides this panel from another plain rectangle below which two raised tranverse bars survive just above the break. The stub of a pin lug with iron corrosion survives behind the 'head' and the stub of a catchplate survives behind the upper 'foot'.
