Description: | A copper-alloy small long brooch fragment, only part of the foot of this brooch survives as the rest is missing due to an old break. The surviving fragment is rectangular in shape and measures 27mm in length and 9mm in width at its widest point. The base of the bow can be seen and the flat panel below this. The flat panel is decorated with four or five transverse grooves, now worn, beneath these there are circular indentations, which may be decoration but could possibly be due to corrosion. Below these there are two more transverse grooves. The half-round panel has a waisted centre and the rest of the terminal is missing. On the back face the catch plate remains, although it is worn. Small patches of active bronze disease can be seen on both faces of this brooch fragment. A similar brooch foot belonging to a small long, although from a more complete brooch, has been found at Gisleham and both examples are early Anglo-Saxon in date (West 1998, 164, Figure 47). | 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
