Copper alloy brooch fragment. Cast head of a small cruciform brooch comprising a plain sub-rectangular field with a central trapezoid panel, and with a collared half round top knop. The stub of a U-shaped pin seat remains behind the head with a trace of rust below it suggesting the loss to decay of an iron pin. Fiercely abraded. The half round and integrally cast knob points to insular [i.e. in Britain] manufacture, though the small size might commend a use more akin to that of a small long brooch than a cruciform brooch of larger size. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 500-600 Height: …

A cast copper-alloy incomplete Early Medieval small-long brooch dating from AD 450 - 550. The rectangular headplate is simply a flat sheet of plain metal.
