Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Small-long brooch of Early-medieval date. The brooch, which would originally have been cruciform, probably dates from the 6th century AD (R. Hattatt; 1985; pp. 211).The head has a sub-rectangular central plate; a projecting knob, with a semi-circular upper portion, at the centre of the horizontal upper edge; and one of the two original smaller, projecting side knobs on the right hand side (as you look at it). The narrow arms of each of the three projecting knobs are decorated with a pair of incised lines - the upper knob's being horizontal and the two side knobs' vertical. The bow consists of a short hump of semi-circular section, with a flattened portion at the point where it adjoins the headplate. The pin attachment is located at the centre of the reverse side of the headplate; it consists of a vertical lug with a rounded upper edge and has a large amount of attached iron corrosion from the now-missing pin. The foot section of the brooch is also missing.The object measures 34.8mm high, by 25.7mm wide and 11.1mm thick; the weight is 8.53g.
