Description: | Equal armed brooch. Hemispherical section, each arm is rectangular with moulded grooved terminals, transverse ridge across the bow raised moulding either side of the bow separating each arm. Loop and catch plate on the reverse pin missing, the catch plate is at a right angle to the body of the brooch. Helen Geake writes: There is no image to go with this record, but from the description, and the date originally given (600-800 AD) the object concerned was presumably a middle Anglo-Saxon ansate brooch. These may be in use in the seventh century on the Continent, but are never found in furnished seventh- or early eighth-century graves in England, and so it seems likely that here they do not come into use until after the end of furnished burial in 720 AD. Well-dated contexts are rare, but they appear to continue in use certainly into the ninth and perhaps as late as the tenth century. The dates, and the classification, have accordingly been changed. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 720
