There is a pair of incised chevrons decorating the bow at the top and the bottom, just in from the facets. There are two small square plates below the bow. The lower one is faceted. …

Cast copper alloy brooch, probably the incomplete terminal of a cruciform brooch. The object comprises a zoomorphic terminal showing a stylised snout and eyes. Coming up from this terminal are two broken tags showing probable moulded bands of ridge and pellet decoration. Moving further up the central body of the brooch terminal are two further broken tags, one of which is more extended; this is right-angled in plan, and may once have connected to the tag below it, creating an openwork motif on the brooch.

The upper surface bears a well-executed design in high relief, which takes the form a stylised human face. The upper head is tri-lobate. The uppermost lobe contains a circular depression; the lower two lobes contain…

A fragment of an Anglo-Saxon long Brooch, consisting of the curved bow, with part of what is probably the catchplate on the reverse. It consists of a roughly rectangular plate (4.6mm thick) curved in section and broken at both ends. Each end has a flat panel and there is a fragment of flat footplate or headplate at one end. This has a ridge on the reverse, right next to the start of the bow, which is a more common place to find a catchplate; this would identify the flat area as part of the footplate. Decoration on the bow consists of a simple horizontal ridge and two horizontal dividi…
