Copper-alloy, 53.26 grams, 124.91 mm. 5th-6th century AD. A finely detailed radiate-headed bow brooch of the standard form. The D-shaped headplate features three lobed extensions (two missing in antiquity) and is otherwise undecorated apart from a lunulate plate with beaded border affixed to the lower edge, respecting the junction with the plain, D-section bow; it is affixed with a spherical-headed pin at each end. At the other end of the bow is a similar symmetrically-placed plate. The long quadrangular footplate is slightly carinated in section. On the revserse, the spring-lug and catchplate are intact; an integrally cast medial bar runs the length of the footplate to strengthen it. Reference: Smith, R.A.
