Description: | Anglo-Saxon small long brooch. The brooch was cast in copper alloy and probably had an iron pin fitted to the reverse, which is now missing. The brooch has a rectangular headplate that is 20mm in width, which is attached to a short bow. The footplate is sub-triangular/heart shaped, with a circular knop at the foot with a elgonated heart shaped foot, with circle at end. The original record describes an extention/rivet on the reverse, which most likely related to a broken or worn hinge or catchplate. The brooch is 28mm in length. The thickness and weight of the brooch are unknown. The decoration, patina, wear and corrosion on the brooch are also unknown. Small long brooches date from the late 5th century, circa 475AD, through to the early 6th century, circa 525AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
