Description: | Cast copper alloy small-long brooch. The brooch has a rectangular head-plate (19.7x15.2mm), rectangular in section. The bow is arched and is carinated in the front, where it is triangular in section (L. 13.4mm). The foot originates in a slightly domed, trapezoidal panel (6.7x3.7-4.8mm), and expands to a wide crescentic terminal (12.4x26.1mm). The head-plate and terminal are both decorated with an incised ring-and-dot motif at the centre. The head-plate has a border of circular and sub-circular stamps and an outer border of short oblique lines along the top and sides, but not along the side which joins the bow. The terminal has the border of circular and sub-circular stamps on all but the short side, which joins the flat panel, but the outer border of short oblique lines is only present along the bottom edge. The flat panel of the foot is decorated with a series of seven transverse grooves. The reverse is flat. A single pin bar lug with the corroded remains of the iron bar is located at the base of the reverse of the head-plate. The catchplate is intact and is located at the top of the reverse of the foot. This is a very nice example of this type of brooch. Even green patina. Similar to an example in Hattatt 2000 and examples in MacGregor and Bolick 1993. | Subjects: | Small long Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
