Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon small long brooch, the head and bow of this brooch survive and the foot is missing due to an old break, now worn. The brooch measures 37.45mm in surviving length, the head measures 23.43mm in width and the bow 13.3mm in width.
The head is rectangular in shape and has short expanded arms, no decoration can be seen. In the centre lower half of the back face are two parallel integral pierced lobes and between these a mass of corroded iron, within this an iron bar can be seen, which would have run between the two lobes, the rest of the corrosion is presumably the remains of an iron pin which would have hung from the bar.
The bow is decorated where it joins the head with three transverse grooves, it is facted and has three more worn transverse grooves at its other end. | Subjects: | small long | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
