Description: | A fragment of an Early Saxon cruciform brooch, with the head-plate and bow missing, broken across one of two perforations in a rectangular panel with chamfered sides. The other performation contains a copper alloy rivet with a scrap of sheet repair. The fragment is flat-backed and D-sectioned with a transverse rib with four engraved lines above a stylised animal-head terminal, with twin vertical lines of tiny possibly triangular stamps between projecting eyes, a chevrons-shaped junction with twin engraved lines on a narrow rounded-terminal muzzle, and a patch of solder near a break on the reverse where a catch-plate is missing. The surviving portion measures 10 x 46mm. The brooch dates from the 6th century.
