Description: | The copper-alloy foot of an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, circa 450-600 in date, the rest of the brooch is missing due to old breaks. It measures 44mm in surviving length and 23mm in width. The lower edge of the half-round panel survives with transverse moulding across it. The horse head terminal is complete, it has a central longitudinal ridge and circular projecting knobs representing the eyes. The nostrils are flaring and there is a circular indentation in the centre of each one, between the nostrils there are double border grooves and a double V-shaped groove above these, there are traces of possible crescent shaped stamped indentations along these grooves too. Projecting from below, between the nostrils there is a spatulate extension which is roughly rectangular in shape flaring slightly at its terminal. | 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
