Description: | The foot from an early-medieval small-long brooch (5th/6th century AD). The foot is expanded, with five sides. It is asymmetrical, with the left side when the foot is lowermost longer and wider. Above the foot the leg is as narrow as 6mm before flaring to 24.25mm at the foot. At the other end the bow curves upwards before a break. On the lower side of the leg is a slightly abraded, perpendicular catchplate (14.9 x 5.25 x 2mm). Viewing the brooch in profile one can see that the foot is bent upwards compared to the leg, most so on its left side. The upper surface of the brooch is decorated. There are some crudely scored transverse lines at the terminal of the foot. On the upper edges of the foot there are triangular nicks. At the junction of foot and leg is a double transverse ridge, with a further pair of double ridges just before the bow curves. The artefact is now corroded with a variable green colour.
