Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch foot. Part of the flat panel, the half round panel and the upper part of the horse head terminal of this brooch survive, the rest is missing due to old breaks. The suriving fragment measures c40mm in length and c13mm in width. The flat panel has a motif of three concentric circles and below this a similar smaller motif consisting of two concentric circles. The half round panel has two transverse raised moulding across it and the upper part of the horse head terminal is rounded on its front face and hollow on its reverse. A large catch plate remains in tact on the back face of the fragment with the remains of the corroded iron pin within it. A similar but complete cruciform brooch also with concentric circular motifs on the flat panel of the foot has been found in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk (MacGregor and Bolick 1993, 101, no 12.15).
