Title
Early Medieval Zoomorphic Brooch
Description
English: Incomplete cast copper alloy early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. Only the foot and part of the bow survives. The terminal is in the form of a horse's head, with an expanded semi-circular finial representing the flared nose, with the two halves separated by a central groove. Above this the bow narrows to form the face of the horse, with two low-relief pellets representing the eyes. Above these ears are three transverse grooves and ridges, then the bow narrows further and has bevelled edges before flattening again just below the arched bow which flares upwards and widens. At this point the brooch is broken. On the reverse of the brooch, the remains of the catchplate survive. The brooch has a deep brownish-green patina. Dated c.450-550.

NB the image shows the brooch upside down.
