Description: | A copper alloy fragment of the foot of a long brooch. The fragment consists of oval "nostrils" in relief with a spatulate extension below. The fragment is only 17.8mm long, 15.5mm wide and 3mm thick. The break appears to be old and patinated. The reverse of the spatulate extension is smooth and flat, but the area behind the nostrils and between them is slightly concave, more corroded and roughened. The smooth surfaces of the fragment have a deep green patina. Similar examples can be found on many of the brooches in "A Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Material from Suffolk" by West (1998), and it is likely that this example dates from the fifth or sixth century.
