Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy cruciform brooch. The brooch has a rectangular headplate split vertically into a central panel and two wings. The two vertical edges of the central panel are decorated with punched chevrons, and the three outer edges of the wings have similar lines of punchmarks. There is a central top knob but the side knobs are missing. The arched bow is faceted top and bottom; in between it is hollow and each edge has a row of similar punchmarks. The flat panel below the bow tapers slightly away from the bow, and again each edge has a vertical row of punched chevrons. To either side is a roughly semi-circular lappet with a small projection to the lower edge; this again has a border of the same chevron or V-shaped punchmarks. The foot is missing. The lappets indicate a sixth-century date. | 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
