Title
Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch terminal, lead, Edlington with Wispington
Description
English: Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch fragment, lead, probably the foot terminal from a florid brooch. The object is in the form of a human face and is roughly D-shaped in cross-section. The upper surface is decorated in relief with a prominant forehead and deep set moulded eyes in the form of two large moulded pellets. The nose is large, triangular and flanked by two chubby-looking curved cheeks. There is a deeply incised elongated triangular channel at the bottom of either cheek, which emphasises them against the rest of the face. The mouth is relatively small and represented by two vertically moulded ribs, which may also be representative of a beard of the chin. The reverse is flat. The object is broken around all sides.
