Description: | Part of the headplate and bow of a cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon small square-headed brooch. The headplate has an inner rectangular section decorated with four rectangular 'blocks', all surrounded by a beaded border. The bow is framed by a raised beaded edge and has a relief midrib separating two raised zones. A single perforated lug on the reverse of the headplate acts as a hinge, and the corroded remains of the spring survive on this. Although incomplete, this brooch is probably an example of the Kentish-continental series of small square headed brooches (Parfitt and Brugmann 1997, 35). Similar examples have been dated to Brugmann's Kentish phase III, circa 530/40 to 560/70 AD. | Subjects: | Kentish-continental Small square headed | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
