Description: | The horse head terminal of the foot of an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, the rest of this brooch is missing due to an old break, now worn.
It measures 35.8mm in total length and 9.3mm in width. A fragment of the flat panel survives below which is the half round panel with two pairs of transverse mouldings across it. Beneath this the horse head terminal has a slight central longitudinal ridge down its lenght. The horse head has parallel pointed oval shaped protruding eyes and indented oval shaped nostrils with a small projection protruding from their centre. The nostrils are the same width as the rest of the head and there is no spatulate extension. On the back face the catch plate survives behind the flat and half round panels, perhaps slightly lower down that is ususally seen. | 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: | 410
