Description: | Anglo-Saxon square headed brooch fragment, 23mm long, 17mm wide and 4mm thick. The fragment is in good condition with a dark purplish patina (underneath some green corrosion product) and weighs 5.67grams. The fragment is sub rectangular with one side having a section protruding at at 45o. This protruding section contains a raised outer border, 3mm thick, which contains an area of chip carving 7mm wide. The carving consists of diagonal lines which are picked out in gold. Next to this three sides of a raised rectangular border, 2mm wide, can be seen. This forms a rectangle with a short side 13mm wide, the other edges are missing. Within the rectangle are faint traces of chip carving also picked out in gold, but most has been obscured by a circular hole, 2mm in diameter, drilled through the brooch. Next to this is a circular protrusion, 5mm wide and 2mm proud of the surface, which is plain and fills up the rest of the visible rectangle.
