Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy small long brooch of early-medieval date. The head of the brooch is square and decorated with a faint recessed border on the front face. From the reverse of the head the pin lug remains and bares traces of iron corrosion. The pin proper no longer remains. An integrally cast D-sectioned bow extends from the bottom of the head arching at roughly 45 degrees. At the apex of the curve the bow turns downwards again at 45 degrees returning to the same plane as the head. At this point the bow continues flat and is decorated with a series of worn collars. The bow terminates in a worn break.The metal has a mid blackish-brown patina and is worn. The brooch is 50mm long, 20.5mm wide, 2.3mm thick and weighs 9.8g.A similar example can be seen in EAA 84, p.139, fig.23, no.8.
