Description: | A copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch, 56mm in length and 27mm in width. The head of this brooch is worn and the top and one side knob are very fragmentary. The other side knob is more complete; it is flat and semi-circular in shape. The bow is faceted at either end and the flat panel below it appears to have traces of transverse grooves. The half-round panel has one transverse groove through its centre; below this, the foot flares into a triangular terminal. On the reverse the pin lug and catch plate survive.
Similar small-long brooches have been found at Lakenheath and Eriswell (West 1998 144, Fig 28, 1 and 108, fig 226, nos. 2-5). | Subjects: | Small long Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
