Description: | A fragment from a copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon long brooch, probably of cruciform type (although too little survives to be certain of this), 29.6mm in total length and 16.3mm in width. Part of the bow and a fragment of the head plate survive the rest of the brooch is missing due to old breaks, which are now worn. The central panel of the head plate is present and due to heat damage has folded forwards onto the bow. The front face of the head plate can therefore no longer be seen and on the back face the remains of the pin loop are visible. The bow fragment measures 22mm in length and 16.3mm in width, it is also distorted due to heat. It is therefore likely that this brooch fragment was originally deposited in an early Anglo-Saxon cremation, it was discovered in association with other early Anglo-Saxon long brooch fragments and artefacts. | Subjects: | long Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
