Description: | Copper alloy penannular brooch, Fowler type F. Complete but bent and quite corroded. Circular section ring, diameter c. 3.5mm, with no surviving decoration apart from the terminals. Animal head terminals (stylised) as shown in Hattatt 1989 Fig 130 almost rectangular in section (up to 8x6mm).The pin is circular in section, about 10mm longer than the booch diameter, and has a broad head with concave mouldings which completely encloses the brooch ring. Original brooch diameter c.55mm. Similar in most resspects to the right hand eg in Hattatt Fig 130 top row. These large penannulars are not common in East Anglia (a type F! is recorded from Barnham, Suffolk BNH 032); dating is broadly 4th - early 6th century, probably focussed in the 5th rather than 4th century?
