Title
An Early Medieval cruciform-style brooch
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy brooch of the cruciform type, dating to the Early Medieval period (c. AD 400 - 600). Only the foot and lower bow survive, the rest of the object having broken away in antiquity. The foot is in the shape of a beast's head with moulded, ridged eyebrows and prominent rounded eyes. The snout extends towards the terminal of the brooch with a prominent raised bridge of the nose and raised nostrils. The terminal is indicated by a double collar, the upper with vertical line decoration and the lower with horizontal line decoration. Just above the eyes of the animal is the remains of the bow, indicated by a narrow projection terminating in a worn break. The reverse of the brooch is flat where the eyes of the animal are and slightly voided where the snout of the animal is.

Similar examples recorded on the PAS database include: SF-7EE63C and LVPL-725484.

The overall dimensions are as follows: 41.77mm in length, 21.12mm in width, 4.53mm in thickness and 10.07g in weight.
