Description: | A fragment of an Anglo-Saxon Long Brooch, consisting of
the curved 'bow' section, with part of the catchplate or pin attachment lug on the rear.
A roughly rectangular plate (4.6mm thick) curved in section and broken at both ends.
Decoration consists of a simple horizontal ridge and two horizontal dividing grooves at each end, and a trace of three small parallel ridges running vertically in the centre.
The piece could be from a cruciform, square headed, small-long, radiate or similar Long Brooch, of the 5th to 7th centuries.
A close parallel can be found in West (2000) 'A Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Material from Suffolk', an early Anglo-Saxon Cruciform brooch on p133, fig 17.6. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crump, Barry - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
