Description: | Fragment of an annular brooch. The brooch is circular in cross-section and has bead-and-reel decoration all the way round. Brooches such as this type have a mainly Anglian distribution and are common in Lincolnshire. This type of brooch belongs to Leeds' Type F, and were in use throughout the early Anglo-Saxon period, surviving the change in dress that occured towards the end of the 6th century, continuing into the 7th century AD.
Alternatively, this fragment could be part of a suspension ring from a chatelaine; a similar example from Icklingham in Suffolk is shown in MacGregor and Bolick 1993, no. 58.1. | 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
