Description: | A cast copper alloy fragment of an Early Medieval brooch, probably a cruciform type, but possibly a small-long brooch (without the foot it is impossible to tell). It dates from AD 400 - 600. Only the lower part of the bow and the flat panel at the top of the foot survive. The bow has a thicker centre and band across the base; the rest is stepped backwards and decorated with vertical lines in relief.The flat plate is decorated with a central rectangle surrounded by a beaded frame in reserved metal. There are traces of broken off lappets. The half-round panel below is decoated with six transverse grooves. The catchplate on the reverse of the flat panel is not complete; the turn-over is missing. The breaks on the brooch are worn and patinated. It has a grey colour and a smooth, even patina. The brooch is 39.5mm long, 20.1mm wide and 15.04mm thick. 17.54g.
