Description: | Fragment of a cast, copper-alloy cruciform brooch of 5th-6th century date.The fragment consists of the side- or topknob from the head of a cruciform brooch.The knob is half-round in section with a hollow back. The knob has 3 sections: a base collar that is trapezoidal in plan; the central body of the knob, sub-trapezoidal in plan; and a narrow spatulate/crescent terminal.The break at the base of the collar indicates the object was cast integral with the rest of the brooch, rather than made separately and attached.
