Description: | A cast copper alloy small-long brooch, dating to the 6th - 7th Century. Small-long brooches tend not to have the side knobs or lugs. The brooch has a rectangular head plate. No decoration can be seen as the surface is so badly corroded. The upper part of the bow survives, with a convex arch- with a raised spine down the centre. The brooch is then broken below this, the break is worn. The break has resulted in the loss of the lower bow and foot. On the reverse of the head there is a small, central pierced loop. There is iron corrosion around the loop. The metal is badly corroded and there are patches of a blue corrosion product on the reverse of the head. Similar to example in West (1998), p257, Fig: 139.
