Description: | A copper alloy cruciform Early Medieval brooch fragment. Only the foot of the brooch survives. The flat panel at the top if broken. The half round panel has two collars, then there is the horse head terminal. This has defined ears, bulbous eyes and comma shaped nostrils. The end of the brooch is broken, so there may have been a spatulate extension, but since the bottom of the nostrils look to be complete, this is unlikely. The reverse of the brooch is hollowed. It has a patchy green patina. The breaks are patinated. Cruciform brooches date from the 5th or 6th century.
