Title
Early Medieval Miniature Square Headed Brooch
Description
English: Cast gilded silver miniature square-headed brooch. The head bears a central motif of three nested rectangles enclosing a horizontal rib, with an outer border of closely juxtaposed stamped circles of diameter 1mm. A curved bow springs from the innermost of the nested rectangles, and has a central longitudinal rib flanked by paired grooves. A U-shaped lug on the back retains the corroded stub of an iron pin. The central rib continues to form the longer shaft of a voided cross potent set centrally in a rectilinear mid-bow expansion with its outer angles curved. There are three small curvilinear motifs in each upper angle of the cross, and a series of five stamped circles in each of its lower angles. An integrally cast folded catch plate remains behind the mid bow. The display face is gilded. The object was found in two parts; prolonged search failed to discover its missing foot.
