Title
Anglo-Saxon brooch: Head of cruciform brooch, copper alloy
Description
English: An Early Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy small long brooch, copying the cruciform type, and dating to around the 6th century.

At this time, relatively crude imitations of cruciform and square-headed brooches were produced, and these are termed 'small long brooches' (Hattatt 1985: 211). This is a good example of the type, weighing 12.0g, and measuring 42.6mm in length, and 26.1mm in width at its widest point (across the head). The head itself is made up of a central field measuring 12.7mm by 16.6mm, and external 'wings' or processes of rectangular form, measuring 16mm by 17mm.

At the bow, the brooch has a thickness of 4.2mm, and the lug is 6.5mm deep. There is a single lug on the reverse,and iron corrosion representing the original pin. The bow is sharply curved, but the foot is now lost. The head is unornamented, and its 'wings' consist of small rectangular plates. The bow features a small stud-lile projection at its apex.
