Description: | Early medieval copper alloy small long? brooch, 66mm long, 19mm wide and 2mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition and weighs 11.77grams. The brooch has an unsual form but seems to fit the small long class rather than cruciform. It has a sub rectangular head plate which appears to be missing its top corners. This has traces of punched circular recesses on its surface. Below this is a very small shallow bow which is sub oval in section. The foot plate is large and is in the form of a very stylised animal head. It has two punched eyes which sit inside sub tri-angular protrusions on each side and it has a long snout with a flared triangular base. There are further possible punched recesses on the snot and possibly the bow? It has a catchplate just below the bow, which is incomplete.
