Description: | PS Terminal part of foot of a Group V cruciform brooch of florid type. A mask with huge moustache flanked by beaked heads with incurving beaks enclosing round apertures. One other aperture, below one beak & next to a cheek of the mask is a casting fault. On both of the unequally sized wings of the moustache are fine incised lines following the bottom edges. There is a crescentic finial. The diagonal fracture is not recent but patination suggests it is much more recent than the object itself. When viewed finial downwards the left-hand end of the fracture is unbroken & forms the complete end of a moulding curling up from the mask?s eyebrows. On the reverse a shallow cast median groove extending from fracture to start of finial. 6th cent. | 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: | 501
