Description: | Early Saxon small-long brooch, lower part of footplate missing. Leeds (1945) cross pattee derivative Group e (i), with square-topped headplate and basal notches. Row of solid D-shaped or half-disc stamps along top and sides. Pentagonal-sectioned bow with sharp median arris and rectangular panels forming facets at top and base, both decorated with a pair of transverse grooves. Footplate with short side facets above half-round moulding which consists of three or more transverse ribs. On reverse a single pin lug surrounded by corroded iron and high catchplate containing part of iron pin. This shows that the brooch was closed when lost, discarded or buried, and thus was almost certainly part of a burial suite. Length 49.5mm. Width 30mm. Bow width 7.5 ?? 9.5mm. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
