Description: | The head of an early Anglo-Saxon long brooch, probably of small long type. The lower fragment of the central panel and the rest of this brooch is now missing due to an old break. It measures 43.4mm in width and 36mm in surviving length. The head is cruciform in shape around a central rectangle with T-shaped arms. There are small crescemt shaped indentations along the edges of the rectangle and the longitudinal edges of the T-shaped arms. There are also faint incised lines running along the inner edge of each arm. On the back face there is a complete integral pin loop.
The head of this incomplete brooch is very similar to a complete example from Haslingfield, Cambridgeshire, which also has a cruciform head with T-shaped arms (MacGregor and Bolick 1993, 139, no 15.56). | 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
