Description: | A copper alloy small long brooch fragment of Early Medieval date. The headplate is flat and lozenge shaped, with flat spatulate knops rather than knobs at the top and on one side, the right side knob is missing. The head plate is decorated with a crescent motif, running across the left side knop, across the centre and on to the incomplete right side. Further crescents run in a line at right angles from the centre up to the top knob. There is moulded decoration of transverse ridges and grooves on either side of the curved bow section of the brooch, which tapers from head to foot. A small fragment of catchplate remains in the centre, on the back face of the headplate. The brooch fragment measures 41.63mm in surviving length and 27.8mm in surviving width across the arms. It weighs 6.54g.
