Description: | Head from of a copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon brooch. It has three roughly rectangular knobs, half-rounded and with a flattish cross-section. There are two perforated lugs on the reverse of the headplate, with the remains of the iron spring/pin mechanism surviving between them. There is a worn break at the junction of the headplate and bow. The brooch has an even brown patina. Although this brooch clearly refers to a cruciform brooch of Aberg's Class II, the simple nature of its design (with no wings to the headplate) suggests that it may actually be part of a small long brooch with a headplate imitating that of a cruciform brooch. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 475
