Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. Only the headplate and bow survive. The headplate is square and has three shovel-shaped wings. The central square is decorated with a smaller raised panel offset to the base of the head. This is decorated with a perimeter of punched crescents and a large ring-and-dot motif in the centre. Two rows of small punched annulets run above the square to the top of the uppermost shovel. Each annulet is joined by an arch of punched dots. The two wings to either side are decorated with a perimeter of punched crescents and a double row down the centre. The bow is short, arched, faceted and broken at the base.
