Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy small long brooch dating to the fifth or sixth centuries AD. The fragment comprises the bow and leg of the brooch. There is a faceted moulding in the area where the brooch would extend to the head plate. The bow is arched and D shaped in section. The bow tapers to a rectangular section leg which is decorated with a row of crescental stamps and two fine horizontal incised lines. Where the leg would have met the foot, there are two ribbed horizontal mouldings. On the underside of the leg, there is a worn and corroded semi-circular catchplate with traces of iron corrosion adhering to it. The fragment measures 42mm in length and 12mm in width. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
