From the photograph of the front of this object, it is likely to be an ansate brooch of middle to late Anglo-Saxon date (8th to 10th century). Each terminal is slightly flared to a zig-zag end with three V-shaped indentations. The arched bow is rectangular in cross-section. Each of the three elements of the brooch (bow and two terminals) is decorated with a rather crudely engraved diagonal cross, or saltire; on the terminals there is a blind-drilled dot in each of the quarters of the saltire.
Without a photograph of the reverse, to confirm the presence of pin fixings, the identifica…
