Description: | Fan-shaped end and part of bow of an equal armed brooch. Helen Geake writes: From the date originally given (600-800 AD) the object concerned was presumably a middle Anglo-Saxon ansate brooch. These may be in use in the seventh century on the Continent, but are never found in furnished seventh- or early eighth-century graves in England, and so it seems likely that here they do not come into use until after the end of furnished burial in 720 AD. Well-dated contexts are rare, but they appear to continue in use certainly into the ninth and perhaps as late as the tenth century. The dates, and the classification, have accordingly been changed. | Subjects: | ansate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Elwes, Marina | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
