Description: | A fragment of an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, only the central panel of the headplate and top knob of this brooch survives. It measures 32.2mm in length and 21.2mm in width. The central panel is rectangular in shape with traces of longitudinal border grooves. The top knob is integral and half round. On the back face there is the remains of the pin loop. This fragment has patches of a black patina, which may be due to exposure to a fire, the edges are also slightly bent which may also be due to exposture to heat. This could imply that this brooch was originally part of a cremation. | 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
