Description: | Incomplete silvered and enamelled copper alloy Aesica brooch. Only the lower part of the central plate and fantail survives. The central plate was probably once circular, and has a deep channel circa 2mm wide, located just inside the perimeter. The circular field enclosed by the channel contains a small fragment of blue enamel. The foot is in the form of a wide fantail that has a thick moulded perimeter enclosing an elaborate motif set on a background of blue enamel. The enamel once contained within the motif is now missing. The motif is in the shape of a cross on which the upper and lower terminals are flared; the lower being slightly more flared than the upper. Both side arms terminate with a downward and inward curving scroll.
