Description: | Early Saxon Small-long brooch with head of abnormal form, footplate missing. The headplate is roughly trapezoidal, the wider upper edge being concave between a flat (bent) central lobe and another at both corners. The lower corners are rounded. Three lines of punched dots, one starting at each of the lobes, converge in the centre of the springing of bow. This is undecorated, with a flat reverse and slightly convex front. The break at the base is ancient. On the reverse a single pin lug is surrounded by traces of the iron spring. Width 26mm, surviving length 32mm. Rather flimsy, the headplate <1mm thick, the bow c.1.25mm thick. 6th – early 7th century. | Subjects: | small-long Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
