Description: | Incomplete Early Saxon copper alloy Cruciform brooch, all of the headplate and part of the flap of the catchplate missing, the break at the top of bow not recent but with recent additonal damage. At the top and base of the very short, hollow-backed bow there is a rectangular panel forming facets and decorated with two transverse grooves. The footplate begins with a plain rectangular area above a single transverse groove. Below two brief side chamfers the half-round moulding comprises two low transverse ribs, both with a pair of grooves. The animal-head terminal has slightly protruding eyes, a elongated snout, circular nostrils and a crescentic finial. Extant length 64mm (of which the bow takes up only 16.5mm). Width at break 11.5mm. Early 6th century. WG2
