Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Cast foot of a Cruciform Brooch, of horse head form with prominently moulded and protruberant eyes. The nostrils are indicated by lightly indented pits, with the curved terminal stepped to suggest an open mouth. Faintly incised traces of inscribed brows appear above the eyes, with further detail represented by diagonally incised lines below them. A horizontally moulded line separated the horse head motif from the further extent of the bow (now lost). An even pale green surface extends across all surfaces including the break at the top of the object, indicating this terminal was detached from its brooch in antiquity. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 450-550.Length: 35.99, Width: 10.1mm, Thickness: 4.6mm, Weight: 6.03gms.
