Description: | Cross shaped fragment of a florid cruciform brooch, Anglo-Saxon. Traces of gilding.
Helen Geake writes: The image attached to this record appears to show the inner panel from the footplate of a great square-headed brooch of Hines's Group XV, with a pair of S-shapes set to form a curly swastika. The same motif occasionally occurs on Kentish small square-headed brooches. The classification field for this record has therefore been changed to 'square headed'. | 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: | 500
