Description: | Copper alloy and iron Brooch. Small Long Brooch, of cross potent form. Cast bow brooch with a loop behind its cruciform head retaining a mass of ferrous corrosion representing an iron pin (otherwise lost). Incised horizontal lines appear to restate worn mouldings at either end of a concavo-convex bow, and below this is the equally worn relict of the upper part of a horse head foot or terminal, with at least one transverse moulding. The foot retains the stub of a folded catch plate behind it; its end is lost. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 500-600. Length: 58.9mm, Width: 28.1mm, Thickness: 3.3mm, Weight: 13.45gms.
