Description: | A foot of a probable early Continental Cruciform brooch of Typ Foldvik-Erpingham (Reichstein 1975, Tafel 68, 7-10), with the upper part missing, form of foot as in op. cit. no.10, although with rib bordering terminal, as on nos. 7-8. Remains of catch-plate on reverse. c.450-500 century AD. Measures 14mm x >33mm. This has been identified as a cruciform brooch foot by comparison not only with the brooches cited by Reichstein, but also other brooches from Norfolk (e.g. NMS-31F633). There are, however, also small-long brooches with this foot form, such as that from Field Dalling 6164.
