among the hundreds of cruciform brooches preserved in Norwegian 

 museums this is the only speeimen showing a close relationship to 

 a form common in England. 



One speeimen found in a West-Norwegian grave is, however, 

 sufficient to prove the existence of an intercourse between England 

 and Western Norway, and it is of the greater importance as this 

 grave is attributed to the time when the English brooches were 

 under a certain influence from the late West-Norwegian form as 

 already mentioned.
