Description: | Early Medieval cruciform brooch fragment, lower part of bow and foot only, 5th-6th century. The bow is undecorated and expands slightly towards the break. Double collared moulding at the junction of the foot and bow, animal-head terminal with two rounded prominent eyes, and plain rectangular snout (this does not appear to have had the usual expanded nostrils, unless the brooch was broken and altered in antiquity). Raised cast median rib on the reverse, damaged catchplate. Patchy light- to mid-green and brown patina. Length 40.04mm, width 16.89mm, thickness (including catchplate) 10.05mm, thickness (across widest part of terminal) 4.95mm, weight 9.61g. | 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
