Description: | Early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy small-long brooch fragment, 29mm long, 24mm wide and 4mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 6.04grams. The object consists of a plain rectangular head plate which has present two semi-circular lugs, one at the top and one to one side. Each lug is separated from the headplate by a narrow waist, and is decorated with a D-shaped border of incised chevron punchmarks. The third and final lug has been lost. Below the head plate are the remnants of the bow, comprising a raised ridge with a sub-triangular section. The reverse is plain except for the remains of a pin bar lug in the centre of the plate, 12mm long and 3mm wide; only about 2mm of its height remains. Anglo-Saxon, fifth or sixth century AD.
