Object Description
An Anglo-Saxon bronze bow brooch with a decorated, trefoil head. The brooch has a large head-plate with crescent-shaped wings on three sides, known as trefoil head. This leads to a short, arched bow that tapers into an elongated flaring foot-plate. The reverse is undecorated and there are traces of where the pin – now missing – would have been. The wings have retained their original pleasant pattern of small crescents that stop at the border of the head-plate.
Date: Circa 5th – 6th Century BC
