Title
Cruciform
Description
English: Headplate of cruciform brooch. The central panel is raised but corrosion has removed most or all of the surface along with any decoration. There are larger corrosion bubbles down either side, which may possibly mark the site of lost stamps. Most of the wings are broken away. The top knob survives, cast in one with the headplate; it is quite rounded but flat on the reverse, and consists of a large hemispherical lobe with a narrow waist and raised band beneath. On the reverse of the headplate is a ridge which is all that remains of the pin bar lug. The break at the top of the bow is very old and corroded to the same state as the rest of the brooch; the corrosion is not active and the fragment appears to have worn considerably after the corrosion became stable. Surviving dimensions 30 x 22 mm.
