Description: | Part of the bow and foot of a copper alloy brooch of early Anglo-Saxon date. The bow is flattened with a slightly convex upper surface and a small flat panel above and below. The flat panel of the foot survives, with transverse groove decoration; there is a stub of catchplate on the reverse. Old breaks. The object is 26mm long, 7mm wide, 5mm thick and weighs 2.34g.Not enough survives to determine whether the brooch was of cruciform type (with a horse's head terminal) or a small-long (with another form of terminal). It dates to the mid 5th to mid 6th century.
