Description: | A copper-alloy bow, flat panel and half round panel of the foot of an early Anglo-Saxon brooch the foot is molten and both the foot and bow distorted due to exposure to heat, presumably as this brooch has been part of a cremation.
It measures 38mm in length and 9mm in width, the bow is rectangular in plan and measures 16.5mm in length and 9.2mm in width. Below this is the flat panel which has molten remains of lappets, there is then the half round panel with two transverse grooves still visible, the terminal of the foot is missing and it is impossible to know if this brooch had a horse head terminal or not. Therefore, it is unknown whether this is a small long or cruciform type brooch. On the back face of the flat and halfround panels there is a longitudinal central ridge which is likely to be the remains of the catchplate. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
