Description: | Early medieval copper alloy cruciform brooch terminal, 41mm long, 14mm wide and 4mm thick with a weight of 10.34grams. The object consists of the lower part of a cruciform brooch and is rectangular in form and cross section. It is decorated on the upper surface with a single horizontal band of 'dashes' which sits below a raised plate with a border formed of semi circular punch marks. Below this is a plain section and then a section formed of seven raised horizontal bands. The lower part tapers in width and forms an animal head. It begins with two incised chevrons sitting above bulging oval eyes. A double line of circular incisions runs down the centre from between the eyes. The reverse of the object has a partial catchplate sitting in the centre of its upper half.
