Title
Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch
Description
English: Near-complete copper alloy cruciform brooch. The top and side knobs are cast in one with the brooch. The knobs are half-rounded and collared, and concave on the reverse. Knobs are domed in outline, each with a sub-rectangular extension which is decorated around the perimeter with punched crescents. Trapezoid head plate with notched wings. The perimeter of the wings are decorated with punched crescents, whilst the central headplate panel is decorated on either side with a vertical line of repeated three-chevrons and a crescent motif. Short arched bow, faceted at corners, convex at front and concave behind. Tapering field below bow decorated around the perimeter with punched crescents, flanked entirely on both sides by a zoomorphic lappet, again decorated with punched crescents. Double-collar moulding at the junction with the foot, leading onto an animal head with projecting forehead with temples slightly curved around the prominent circular eyes. Scroll shaped nostrils terminating with a broad sub-rectangular extension, both decorated with punched crescents. Double lug on reverse for hinged pin (missing). Catchplate intact. Iron corrosion on lug and catchplate.
