A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) cruciform brooch, dating to c. AD 475-550. All that remains is one of a probable top knop from a cruicifrom brooch of Martin Group Kb5 (Martin, 2015, page 312). The knop is half round and non-detatchable, so has broken off the main brooch. It has been burnt and so is likely to have come from a cremation context. Remaining length: 14.66mm, remaining width: 18.28mm, thickness: 6.39mm, weight: 5.21g.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper-alloy object, dating to the early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) period. Probably a mount but might possibly be a strap distributor or junction plate. This object is now roughly triangular in shape, with two original edges surviving, the rest have been broken (old breaks). The object has a rectangular shaped section but has a curvilinear back face. It is decorated in Style 1 Germanic animal chip carved decoration, but it is unknown what animal is being depicted. Based upon the decoration style this object is likely to date to the late 5th and 6th Century AD.
