Title
Early Medieval square-headed brooch
Description
English: A fragment of a copper-alloy florid cruciform brooch dating to the sixth century AD. The fragment comprises the head, the bow and a portion of the foot. The brooch measures 81mm in length. The head is 39mm in length, 52mm in width and 7mm thick. The bow is 20mm at its widest and 4mm thick. The foot is a maximum of 27mm long, 31mm wide and 6mm thick.

Helen Geake comments: 'Despite the head being rectilinear and not at all 'cruciform', the decoration shows that it's developed out of 3 knobs all with two little circles - possibly intended as a human mask. There's a similar example from Driffield in Martin 2015, pl. 29.1. The fragment belongs to Type 4.3.2 which appears to be a north eastern type.'
