Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy brooch of early Anglo-Saxon date. The piece represents the lower part of the bow and the foot of a small early cruciform type brooch, probably dating from the mid to late 5th century AD. The foot has moulded decoration depicting a stylised animal head. There is an enlarged eye or nostril on each side and the tapering foot probably represents the nose. The point at which the lower part of the bow becomes the foot is marked with two parallel transverse ridges. The reverse has a damaged catchplate remnant. It measures 46mm long by up to 7.5mm wide and 1.5mm thick. It weighs 5.45g. | 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: | 450
