Description: | Anglo-Saxon square headed brooch bow? 29mm long and 25mm wide. The object is in a poor condition and has a dark green/black patina which may result from burning? The object is 5mm thick and weighs 17.17grams. It appears plain apart from a raised border, 4mm thick, on three sides. The object is curved almost 90o with one edge flattening out on the reverse where it would join the headplate. The fragment is very similar to square headed bows but it does not have the usual medial ridge. The closest parallel in plainess and material is an example from Broughton Lodge, Nottinghamshire (plate 77 fig a, Hines, J. A new corpus of Anglo-Saxon great square headed brooches)
