Description: | Head and part of bow from a small-long brooch. The central panel of the headplate is trapezoidal, tapering from 18 mm wide at the top to 12 mm at the junction with the bow. Down each side of the slightly raised central panel is a row of dot-and-crescent punchmarks, largely obscured by corrosion on one side. There are three 'knobs', each long, flat and rectangular with a semi-circular cut-out in each short edge; each one has a row of punchmarks along its inner edge and a fine engraved line along its outer edge. The punchmarks on the 'knobs' are triangular with a tiny annulet or crescent above the apex. Two of the three 'knobs' are now incomplete. The bow is narrow compared to the headplate, and begins with a short flat panel. Below this the bow is facetted and has a central longitudinal groove. The bow tapers to 7 mm wide at the worn break. On the reverse of the headplate is a single off-centre pin bar lug. Early Anglo-Saxon, 5th or 6th century. | 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: | 450
