Description: | Two copper-alloy fragments which were discovered together, fit together and therefore originate from the same object. One fragment is roughly triangular in shape, 17mm in length and 11mm in width. The back face is flat and plain and the front face decorated with a scroll-like pattern which is gilded, this decoration is very similar to that seen on Anglo-Saxon brooches, especially the more ornate square-headed ones. The second fragment joins onto the first and continues the scroll pattern although any traces of gilding have disappeared. It is L-shaped measuring 15mm by 8mm in size. The back face is also undecorated and flat. This fragment also has a circular perforation in the centre of the bottom corner of the 'L' shape. It is not clear if this perforation would have been created as part of an original object or added later. Due to the style of its decoration this fragment is also believed to be Anglo-Saxon in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
