Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment. All that survives is part of a decorated flat plate, with one complete and one stub of a pair of lugs on the back. The lugs are 5mm apart. The plate is 1.5mm thick and has no certain original edges; the surviving shape is roughly triangular with a slight upturn just before the break on the long edge opposite the spring lugs (this could be original or damage). The decoration is of parallel heavy grooves with punched dot and circle motifs at the intersections and in the blank triangle. This is definitely a brooch, but it is not clear even which side of the lugs is the main body. Although it might be Roman the decoration is very similar to Anglo-Saxon Ansate types, which sometimes also have the two lug type of spring attachment. Surviving length 19mm, surviving width 17mm | 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: | 650
