Description: | An early Anglo-Saxon incomplete cruciform brooch, incomplete due to old breaks with the foot now missing. It measures 42.92mm in surviving length, the head is small with a central panel delimited by longitudinal grooves and small side wings, now worn, it is 11.78mm in width. Only the top knob survives, it is integral and full round, indicating that this is probably an early cruciform, the side knobs could have been seperate and no longer survive. Projecting from the centre of the back face of the head there is the pin loop, with traces of corroded iron, presumably from the pin around it. The bow is broad and has a central longitudinal ridge and transverse grooves at either end. On the back face of the flat panel, below the bow there is the integral catch plate. | 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: | 400
