Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy Ansate brooch. Only one terminal survives and is sub-rectangular with rounded corners (L. 14.25mm. W. 11.5mm. Th. 2.2mm). The upper surface of the terminal is flat and decorated with four incised ring and dot motifs, one in each corner and one in the centre. There are remains on the reverse of the terminal, probably of the pin bar lug, however these are currently still encrusted with earth so that this is not clear. The highly angled arched bow is very short and is tapered from the apex towards the terminals. It is broken off before the junction with the second terminal. The bow is also thicker at its apex than it is at the junction with the terminal (L. 10.9mm. W. 6.6-7.8-6.5mm. Th. 2.3-4.8-3.4mm). The upper surface of the bow is convex and there is a slightly flattened area at the apex and a flattened triangular section at the junction of the terminal and the bow. The reverse of the bow is flat and undecorated, so that the bow is generally D-shaped in section. Mid-green patina. | Subjects: | Ansate Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
