Description: | Sub-lozenge shape plate bent in the middle, remains of a spring to the wider end, decoration comprises of a line of stamped dots running around the plate and a line running down the middle.
This brooch type (with an oval or lozengiform body and basic integral safety-pin type sprung pin) has been confirmed as early-medieval only in recent years, and some have been published as late as 2000 as Bronze Age 'violin bow' brooches (e.g. Hattatt 2000, 281; refs. 1442, 1385). Examples from North Lincolnshire and Sedgeford (Norfolk) have confirmed a Middle Anglo-Saxon date, with the more elaborate examples (such as HAMP-CEBED7) bearing the 'chip-carving' characteristic of 8th-century metalwork.
