Description: | Copper-alloy small-long brooch, foot missing. The head-plate may have originally been square, but appears to have been worked into a very roughly cruciform shape by the removal on the corners & their replacement by curved cut-outs. Triangular section bow, with traces of a median groove, has faceted corners next to a transverse groove at top & base. On foot below a nick on both sides two transverse grooves, then side facets, then a transverse rib with double groove. Foot break & modifications to head-plate are ancient. On reverse a double lug retains iron pin bar. Within intact catch-plate well-defined patch of rust may indicate that the brooch was buried with the ion pin in closed position. 6th cent. | Subjects: | small long | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
