Description: | An early Anglo-Saxon (400-600AD) fragment of a small long brooch. It has been cast out of copper alloy and has an even, matt dark green patina. This is just a fragment of the brooch (only part of the head plate and the bow remain); the breaks have the same patina as the surface, suggesting that the brooch was broken some time ago. Given the location where it was found it is extremely likely that it was buried complete, as part of a burial. The remains of a perforated lug are present on the reverse of the head plate. The brooch has an arched parallel-sided bow, carinated in front with mouldings forming faceted corners. It is similar to a brooch illustrated in MacGregor and Bollick no.15.15 pg. 128. The bow has been twisted slightly out of shape at the end nearest the foot. There is no trace of decoration on the head plate. Dimensions: weight: 7.93g; length: 23.87mm; width of head plate:17.19mm; width of bow: 9.70mm; thickness: 11.14mm. | 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: | 400
