Description: | Near-complete early Anglo-Saxon brooch. The headplate is a rounded semi-circle, with stamped 'double horseshoe'-like decorations around the edges. The foot below the bow has two pairs of lappets. Pin missing.
This brooch is a distinctive type, related to the Continental radiate-headed series, which might perhaps be termed a miniature bow brooch. It dates to the fifth or sixth centuries AD. Several similar ones can be seen on the PAS database, for example KENT3392, KENT-09C753, KENT-625842, IOW-E94E22 and IOW-8F68C4. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Herepath, Nick - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
