Description: | A cast copper-alloy small-long brooch of Anglo-Saxon tradition, dating to the 5th-6th century.The brooch is incomplete, missing part of its foot and its pin. The head is rectangular in shape, with a large ring-and-dot stamp in each corner of the headplate. The bow is carinated with notched corners. The foot consists of a flat panel beneath the bow bearing two pairs of incised lines across its width and a moulded collar that separates the panel from the foot terminal, though the terminal is now missing.A single lug is on the centre of the reverse of the headplate, and a hooked catchplate is found on the underside of the foot panel.The object is in relatively good condition, with wear and corrosion found along the outer edges and on the peak of the bow.
