Description: | Fragment of early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy cruciform or small-long brooch, 23mm long, 20mm wide and 6mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 3.89 grams. Part of the rectangular head plate and one flat damaged knob survive. The headplate has a line of circular stamps running up its edges, but no other decoration can be seen. The upper part of the bow is present, protruding from a rectangular protrusion at the base of the plate. The reverse contains one centrally placed, damaged semi-circular lug which has a large patch of iron corrosion surrounding it.In the absence of the foot, this brooch cannot be securely identified as either a cruciform or a small-long.
