Possibly a mount/terminal. The main decorative design is a horse head, with fine grooves illustrating features such as elongated eyes, and flaring nostrils. The horse has upright pointed ears. From between the ears a length of copper alloy, which is more narrow than the head and slightly recessed extends onwards. Beneath the nose of the horse is a recessed and incomplete loop. The reverse is plain and the surface slightly undulating. It has been suggested to be a vessel handle fragment. The object appears on the small side and not substantially made for that use, but is a possibility.

Approx. half of the brooch remains. Decoration consists of zigzag incised lines with notches around the outside edge. The brooch has a slight convex curvature. Helen Geake writes: This sounds like an early Anglo-Saxon flat annular brooch, although in the absence of an image it is impossible to be certain. Accordingly, the original date range quoted (410-1066 AD) has been changed to 450-600 AD.
