Description: | Part of the footplate of a cast copper alloy small square-headed brooch. The footplate is sub-triangular with the partial remains of a catchplate on the reverse. It is broken just above the junction with the bow, and the terminal of the footplate is missing. Some gilding survives on the front, which is decorated with Style I zoomorphic ornament in the form of an eye in each upper corner panel and an elongated body in each lower corner panel. The foot is divided longitudinally by a central zone of beading between parallel lines, and horizontally two pairs of raised segments terminating in the incomplete remains of what where probably semi-circular panels. Small Square-headed brooches were manufactured in England from circa 500-570 AD.
