Description: | The foot of a copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. The base of the bow, the flat panel and horse head terminal of the foot survive, the rest of this brooch is missing due to an old break. It measures 51mm in surviving length and c8mm in width.
The base of the bow is faceted and the flat panel below it is decorated with two sets of two transverse grooves. There are two more transverse grooves just above the horses head terminal. This terminal has a central ridge along either side of which there are longitudinal rows of small ring and dot motifs. The horse head has two parallel bulging eyes and flaring nostrils. On the back face the catch plate of the brooch projects and is complete. Patches of active corrosion can be seen on both faces creating powdery pale green corrosion products. | 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: | 550
