Anglo-Saxon Bronze Cruciform Brooch
6th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £156
With head knobs cast in one with the plate, side lugs below the arches and foot moulded with a stylised human head. 71 grams, 11.9 cm
Found UK. From a North Yorkshire, UK, private collection. Acquired from Adam Partridge Auctioneers, Macclesfield, UK. Property of Mr A.B., an American collector.
The long brooch is of developed Anglian cruciform type, originally possibly fitted with iron sprung pin of type G. The specimen shows an evolution from the Gothic crossbow type: especially in England, the knobs of the cruciform type brooches were cast integrally with the head-plate, which became larger and the bow below the arched section sprouted bronze lugs. -
