Description: | Copper alloy Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. Foot and catchplate only survive, with a worn transverse break at the junction of the foot and bow. The decoration on the front of the brooch comprises a raised transverse line just below the break, a space and then a similar line. Below this is a zone of three transverse ridges, which form the neck of the zoomorphic (horse) head which comprises the terminal of the brooch. The snout of the animal head flares out and has a very rounded end. This brooch, which is somewhat encrusted with corrosion, is likely to date to the 2nd half of the 5th, or very early 6th, century AD.
