Title
Early Saxon great square headed florid cruciform hybrid brooch. Hines group XXI
Description
English: Fragment of copper alloy early Saxon brooch with extensive chip carved ornament. The lower part of the rectangular headplate survives with the corroded remnants of the spring and upper pin extant on the reverse. The majority of the bow also prevails terminating in a transverse break across its lower end. One side of the headplate also survives as a separate fragment found elsewhere in the same field. The style and decoration fits best with Hines Group XXI hybrid square headed florid cruciform type, with a small raised rectangular decorated plinth on the headplate and a central circular decorated bow disc. Ref Hines, J., 1997 A New Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Great Square-Headed Brooches Woodbridge : The Boydell Press, 153-156. There are scant remnants of gilding over much of the surface. Hines cites only four other examples of this brooch type all of which have a distribution outside of Norfolk in the East Midlands. Circa 525-560 AD.
