A fragment from a cast copper alloy early Anglo-Saxon brooch of small-long type, 5th to 6th century AD in date.

The fragment is one of the arms of the brooch, is gilded and is decorated with chip-carving in Salin's Style I.

Although the break is worn it does not appear to be ancient, suggesting that it may have happened during ploughing.
