Description: | Early Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch made from copper alloy, cast in one piece.The pin is missing but some of the catchplate and the pin mechanism remains. The main part of the brooch is mainly complete.
The headplate is square and a T-shaped top lug remains, but the two side ones have broken off. The lug is incomplete and is rectangular with an extra bit on one side.
The bow has a rounded medial ridge and is faceted at the corners. In section, it is carinated in front and concave behind.
Below the bow are two small circular lappets. After this is a flat trapezoidal panel. The terminal end has three incised lines splitting the end into three cylinders. On the reverse is the catchplate. Length of catchplate, 13.81mm.
Although the foot is incomplete and the head is fragmentary, it seems likely from the shape of the headplate that this should be identified as a small-long rather than a cruciform brooch. | Subjects: | small long Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
