Description: | An incomplete copper alloy small-long brooch of Early-medieval date. The head is square in plan with a bend at one corner and appears undecorated though the degree of wear is advanced. The D-sectioned arched bow extends centrally from the lower edge of the head with a worn raised rectangular collar at both ends. The bow tapers steadily in width through the curve and continues downwards to terminate in a worn zoomorphic terminal.The broken and worn remains of a hinged pin mechanism remain on the centre of the reverse of the head though the pin proper no longer remains. The remains of a catchplate can also be seen on the reverse of the lower bow.The metal has a mid brownish-green colour and is worn. The brooch is 57.4mm long, 26.7mm wide, 5mm thick and weighs 15.5g.
