Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Anglo-saxon brooch. The fragment consists of the head of a long brooch, probably a cruciform brooch from the size of it although the distinctive side knobs and zoomorphic foot are missing. The head has a central square panel about the same width as the bow with 2 trapezoid side wings. At the top there is a hollow half round knob. At the bottom is the start of a 2 faceted bow, but this is broken off. No side knobs remain. However behind the central panel there is a lug with iron corrosion which would have held the pin mechanism, and there is also iron corrosion either side of the lug which may indicate that there was another iron pin now missing which held the 2 side knobs.
