Title
Early Medieval Cruciform Brooch
Description
English: A fragment of a copper alloy early-medieval cruciform brooch (AD c.500-c.600), missing its head and bow, its catchplate and part of the foot. It consists of only part of the half-round panel, the horse headed terminal and the spatulate extension from the brooch's foot. Overall, the fragment measures 35.9mm long, 15.1mm wide and 4.8mm thick. It weighs 6.49g. The fragment is is in very good condition and most of the details of the decoration are still visible. The half-round panel is decorated with three transverse ridges and two smaller ridges in one of the gaps. The horse's brow is denoted by two pairs of transverse grooves, almost meeting at the centre to form a chevron. The eyes are formed by a pair of projecting pellets and the nostrils by a pair of moulded rounded projections. The reverse is hollow so that at its centre the fragment is C-shaped in cross-section.
