Description: | Incomplete gilt copper alloy cruciform brooch. The upper half of the brooch, along with the nostrils of the terminal are missing. The bow is only visible at its lowest point, which is faceted and slightly concave on the reverse. There is a trapozoid shaped panel below the bow which has an incised double grooved collar above and below. The left and right hand sides are decorated with punched crescent and dot motifs. There is a triangular shaped lappet to either side with what appears to be zoomorphic characteristics along the outer edge. There is another incised double collar below, and a chevron shaped double collar marking the forehead of the zoomorphic terminal. The beast has two moulded pellet eyes with a row of punched crescent and dots down the centre. The snout is triangular in cross-section and has a stepped, expanded nostril area. A flat scroll-shaped lappet extends from the nostril area however these are both incomplete. There is an incomplete extension at the terminal. The reverse is slightly concave and there is an incomplete catchplate at the top. The entire front surface has been gilded.
