Title |
Anglo saxon cruciform brooch |
||
Description |
English: Fragment of foot from a copper-alloy cruciform brooch, broken at both ends. At the top there is a tiny stub of a flat panel, on the reverse of which is a stub of catchplate. A transverse moulding and a transverse groove come next, and here the brooch is D-shaped in cross-section. Below these is a long horse-head terminal, with prominent conical eyes and then a long nose which is facetted on the upper surface and slightly hollowed on the reverse. The centre of the nose is decorated with tiny transverse nicks across the ridge. Two large oval nostrils come next, both flat and undecorated and set at a slightly oblique angle. Below the nostrils the foot continues the line of the nose but becomes flatter in cross-section; it is broken shortly below the nostrils. Both breaks are patinated; the break at the top is fairly fresh and the one at the bottom just a little more worn. The maximum width, at the nostrils, is 22 mm; the width by the eyes and below the nostrils is 15 mm. The surviving length of the fragment is 53 mm. Early Anglo-Saxon, later 5th or 6th century AD. |
