Description: | Elaborate openwork copper alloy brooch; design based upon a cross with pointed terminals, the centre carries a flower motif of six applied petals which enclose a clear cut crystal or glass stud gripped by small metal projections. Each of the cross terminals originally held slightly smaller studs, of which only one survives. Small bud-like elements emerge from the angle of the cross arms and bifurcate to form looping wire-work tracery which connects the terminals of the cross. The reverse retains the copper alloy pin which is held at the terminal of one cross arm by a lug, the catch is missing and the length of the pin is roughly equal to the diameter of the brooch, so it is hidden from the front. | 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: | 1450
