Description: | Three fragments of what probably represents a pair of Anglo-Saxon annular brooches. The outer perimeters of all three fragments are damaged, however one piece is much narrower that the other two and has a perimeter decoration that does not match them either.
Fragment 1.
A curved, flat section frame with a rivet hole at one end. The frame is decorated with two perimeter bands of punched half-circles. Probably the same brooch as fragment 2.
45.69mm x 9.58mm x 1.44mm.
Fragment 2.
A curved, flat section of frame decorated with two perimeter bands of punched half-circles. At one end the frame appears to narrow however this is damage and not an original feature. Probably the same brooch as fragment 1.
44.51mm x 9.85mm x 1.29mm
Fragment 3.
A narrower, curved, flat section of frame decorated with two perimeter bands of punched diamonds.
33.12 x 5.48mm x 1.12mm
Annular brooches are often found in pairs on burials, and so due to their proximity they probably represent a pair. | Subjects: | Annular Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
