Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy ansate brooch of roughly middle Anglo-Saxon date. One terminal of this example is missing due to an old break. It is of Thorle Gruppe VIIIB (Thorle 2001, tafel 38, 9-14), which he dates circa AD 800-900. The surviving terminal is a quatrefoil with square ended terminals and a central lozenge shape, there are curvilinear protrusions between each terminal. The bow is rectangular with longitudinal mouldings and in its centre is a quatrefoil like the terminal, again with a lozenge shaled central moulding. On the back face of the survving terminal there is an off centre incomplete double pin lug. This ansate measures 32.78mm in surviving length and 14.77mm in width, across the terminal and 8.39mm across the bow.
