BROOCH

Unique ID: KENT2343

Object type certainty: Certain

Cast copper alloy cruciform brooch with horse-head terminal. As the head-plate is missing it is not clear whether the brooch belongs to Aberg's group I (with full round knobs) or group II (with half-round knobs).

Notes:

Possibly a duplicate record of KENT3361? Helen Geake writes: The image of this brooch is not very clear, and from the description it is also unclear exactly which parts of this brooch remain. The bow is probably extant, and both bow and foot are narrow.

Class: Cruciform
