Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Early Medieval cruciform brooch dating from the 5th or 6th century. It is 30.5mm long, 21.9mm wide and 5.8mm thick. It weighs 7.42gm. Only part of the foot of the brooch survives. It has a fairly flat panel at the top, just part of which survives. Then there is a raised section decorated with transverse mouldings. Beneath this is the horse head terminal. It has protruding eyes but the rest is missing. The reverse of the foot is hollow. There is the remains of a copper alloy catchplate. The brooch has a patchy dark green patina and the breaks are patinated. The brooch is narrower than other examples from the same area, and may be a Narrow Cruciform brooch dating from the 5th century.
