Description: | Copper alloy Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. Only the zoomorphic (horse head) terminal of the foot is present, with a worn transverse break just above a zone of three transverse ridges which form the animal's neck. The head itself comprises a pair of eyebrows which join to form a logitudinal ridge down the nose, which terminates is a snout formed by two opposed triangular sections. The eyes of the animal are formed by two raised dots. There is no trace of a catchplate on the reverse; presumably this was present higher up the foot. This brooch dates to the 2nd half of the 5th, or first half of the 6th, century AD.
