Description: | Incomplete Early Saxon copper alloy bow brooch, probably a Small-long, with a cruciform head. There is considerable recent scuffing. The head plate is very small and with disproportionately large top and side knobs, each with a pair of transverse grooves flanking a flute-like waist. At the top of the triangular-sectioned bow a very sharp rectangular panel forming facets is decorated with two transverse grooves. An ancient break has removed the lower panel. On the reverse a single pin lug is partly buried in the remains of an iron spring. Extant length 39mm. Width 27.5mm. Weight 11.28g. c.450 - c.500 AD.
