Description: | This small-long brooch is broken into two parts, the head-plate portion and the bow/foot portion. The brooch has a head plate which has a border of stamped crescents and a central double ring with a dot in the centre. The head plate has three semi-circular lobes which are slightly abraded. The highly arched bow starts but is broken completely. The break suggests it is a recent break. The reverse of the head plate has a vertical lug which is incomplete. The bow/foot portion has the majority of the highly arched bow, below which is a wide horizontal high-relief band. Below this the splayed foot protrudes. The foot is incomplete, therefore the original shape of the foot is not certain. This portion of the brooch is decorated with a border of concentric stamps with a double ring and dot in the centre, however this is incomplete. On the reverse of this portion there is the remains of a catchplate just below the arched bow portion. Both fragments have a well developed dark green patina. | Subjects: | Leeds Trefoil Head Class b Small long Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
