Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy square headed or cruciform brooch. The brooch is the central portion of the headplate however it has no original sides remaining. The headplate would have been divided into three smaller rectangular sections; the flanking recessed plates are just visible before the breaks. The central panel contains a snake or serpent in an S-shaped set within a deep grooved surround. The head of the serpent has a small pointed oval eye. There is a row of incised or punched triangles to the left and the right of the serpent, however most of the cells are now too worn to determine. On the reverse of the headplate is a damaged double lug for a hinged pin. There is no iron corrosion surrounding the lug.
