Description: | An Early Saxon incomplete copper alloy Cruciform brooch with a rectangular head-plate, separated from the broken and distorted wings by three parallel lines on either side Either edge of the plate is decorated with lines of stamped dots within chevrons, almost completely obscured by corrosion on one side. The separate central knop is cast in the round with an almost flat pellet on top and a concave moulding with traces of grooves above and below now almost completely worn away, and is attached to the plate by a wedge shaped front extension. The rectangular panel at the start of the bow is decorated with three transverse grooves before very slight triangular facets. There are very worn traces of triangular stamps along the edge of the convex bow, before two further possible facets, or transverse grooves before the break. On the reverse is a double pierced lug with iron corrosion on on and around it, and at the start of the bow and before the break. The reverse of the bow is almost flat. Surviving length 56mm. Surviving width 39mm. Head-plate 22 x 23mm.
