Description: | A complete copper-alloy ansate middle Anglo-Saxon brooch in very good condition. Measuring 50mm in total length.
The bow is rectangular in shape and arched measuring 21.4mm in length and 10.8mm in width. The two terminals are flat and circular in shape each measuring c17.7mm in diameter. The front face of both terminals is decorated with a central incised cross with a diagonal incised line present in each quarter of the cross. Surrounding the central cross design there is a circumferencial row of small evenly spaced transverse incisions enclosed within two concentric boarder grooves.
On the back face there is a complete pin bar lug in the centre of one terminal and the remains of a catch plate in the centre of the other.
This ansate brooch is similar in style, having an arched rectangular bar and roughly circular terminals with incised decoration, to examples discovered in Ipswich (West 1998, 216, fig 98, no 1-7). | 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: | 600
