Title
Early medieval brooch
Description
English: An incomplete early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper alloy cruciform brooch dating to the 6th century AD. The foot and the pin are missing. The head consists of a rectangular plate with knobs projecting on three sides and the bow projecting from the lower side. The plate is decorated with vertical incised lines near the edges of the sides and a pattern of three concentric incised circles around a central incised dot. There is iron corrosion around the hinge lug at the back suggesting that the pin was also made of iron. The bow protrudes from the lower part of the head, is hump-like and is D-shaped in cross-section. On the front at the upper part of the bow a horizontal groove is preserved and at the lower part a horizontal incised line is visible.

Overal the object is 37 mm long, 29 mm wide, 11.5 mm thick and weighs 6.55 g.
