Description: | A fragment from a cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon Great Square-headed Brooch, dating from the early to mid-6th century AD. The fragment is one of the arms of the brooch, is gilded and is decorated with chip-carving in Salin's Style I. There are disjointed animal parts such as legs and bodies which are distinguishable and possibly a animal or predatory bird's head. The reverse is plain. Although the break is worn it does not appear to be ancient, suggesting that it may have happened during ploughing.
