Description: | Fragment of an Anglo-Saxon copper alloy cruciform brooch. Only the foot and terminal remain. The terminal is shovel shaped containing two incised swirls representing the scroll-shaped nostrils of a beast. The perimeter of the terminal is decorated with v-shaped notches. The foot is a narrow rectangular stem above that is D-shaped in cross-section and transversely ribbed.There is a good parallel for this brooch fragment from Feltwell in Norfolk, HER no. 21137. The Feltwell brooch is complete and has a conventional cruciform-type head with panelled rectangular headplate and three half-round knobs. The absence of a horse-head element on the foot of both this brooch and the Feltwell brooch, however, could alternatively suggest a classification as a small-long brooch.
