Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Small-long brooch of 6th century (Early-medieval/Anglo-Saxon) date. For similar, see R. Hattatt, 2000, pp. 376, no. 675. The piece consists of the lower part of the bow and the foot section. The surviving bow segment has a flat surface and straight, parallel sides. A series of mouldings, comprising a vertical ridge between two bands of multiple horizontal ridges and grooves, separates the bow from the roughly trapezoidal foot section. A further horizontal ridge extends along the bottom edge of the foot. The transition from bow to foot is marked on the reverse by the solid catchplate, which appears to be missing its rolled outer edge.The object measures 26.4mm long, 8.3mm wide and 7.2mm deep. The weight is 2.49g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
