Description: | Fragment of a copper-alloy cruciform brooch. The brooch has an undecorated rectangular headplate with a flat central panel and two slightly rearward bent wings. There is an integral fully rounded and collared knob at the top, but the two side knobs are missing. There is a flat panel decorated with two grooves above the faceted bow. The bow is incomplete and the rest of the brooch is missing. The reverse of the headplate has a single lug for the spring. Around the lug is iron corrosion. The fact that the top knob is fully round dates this brooch to the 5th century AD.
