Description: | Copper-alloy fragment from an unusual equal-armed brooch. It has a broad triangular head-plate with a rib along the upper edge decorated with oblique lines, then a fine engraved line and ring-and-dot along the sides. The head-plate steps in to a narrow, flattish, broken bow (break ancient). Fragment of broken single lug and corroded remains of iron pin on reverse, fragment 42 x (at least) 17mm. A very delicate object, the metal being very thin. No parallel has been found. Whether this belongs to the early Anglo-Saxon series of equal-armed brooches, or the middle Anglo-Saxon series of ansate brooches, is unclear. | 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: | 410
