Title
Decorated metal-work
Description
English: From the photograph of the front of this object, it is likely to be an ansate brooch of middle to late Anglo-Saxon date (8th to 10th century). Each terminal is slightly flared to a zig-zag end with three V-shaped indentations. The arched bow is rectangular in cross-section. Each of the three elements of the brooch (bow and two terminals) is decorated with a rather crudely engraved diagonal cross, or saltire; on the terminals there is a blind-drilled dot in each of the quarters of the saltire.

Without a photograph of the reverse, to confirm the presence of pin fixings, the identification must remain provisional. There is no immediately obvious close parallel on the database, although the shape and decorative scheme of SF9377 is similar.
