Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy cruciform brooch of early Anglo-Saxon (c. 6th century) date.The head has a rectangular central area which displays no obvious decoration. The top and left hand cross arms have been lost in antiquity; the right hand arm survives, consisting of a short, parallel-sided projection and semicircular terminal. From the base of the head projects a short remant of the bow, its upper surface decorated with a pair of transverse grooves. The pin attachment is located at the centre of the head's underside and takes the form of a right-angled lug with single perforation. The artefact is both corroded and encrusted. It measures 15.4mm long, 20.6mm wide, 8.7mm deep and weighs 4.3g.
