Description: | Early Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy small equal-armed brooch. The brooch has symmetrical triangular head and foot-plates set either side of a short, arched, bow. Both head and foot-plate terminate in a round knop, and both are flat and plain. The head-plate has a moulded lug on the reverse on its centre-line immediately above the junction with the bow, and there is a corresponding catch-plate on the foot, just below the junction with the bow. Iron corrosion adhereing to the lug on the back of the head-plate represents the remains of the sping/pin. A number of similar brooches have been recorded as metal detector finds in east Kent, and at least one was found in a burial at Ringlemere, where most excavated burials date from the mid 5th to very early 6th century. A similar date range for this brooch seems probable. | Subjects: | Equal Armed | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
