Description: | Small Kentish square-headed brooch of Leigh?s series III, made from gilded copper alloy. The headplate has lost most if not all of its top and side edges; a central rectangular panel survives, filled with vertical ribbing (parallel to the direction of the bow) which appears to consist of ridges separated by alternating wider and narrower grooves. A broad groove surrounds this central panel. The bow has a broad raised band running down the centre, and on either side are narrow longitudinal beaded ridges. The foot is very incomplete, but raised bands can be seen forming a lozenge shape with incurved sides. Above and to either side of this lozenge is an incomplete panel of relief decoration. Within the lozenge are concentric lozenges made up of beaded or notched ridges. Very similar to KENT4436; parallels from Leigh?s catalogue (1980) include Chessell Down no. 9 and Howletts no. 1. Early Anglo-Saxon, sixth century AD. This object has been identified from the image only. | 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: | 500
