Description: | Early Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch, 46mm long, 8mm wide with a weight of 9.05grams. The brooch is incomplete, missing its headplate, but is in good condition with a brownish green patina. The brooch consists of a triangular terminal to the foot, with roughly incised dotted border. Above this is a raised collar, 8mm long, with three horizontal incised lines across it. Above this the two edges of the brooch are bevelled for a short distance with two more incised lines making an upper border to the bevelled area. The last third of the object (10mm long) is made up of the bow which consists of a curved and rounded section which protrudes for 5mm, with triangular cut away sections in each corner. The brooch is broken off at this point. On the reverse the catchplate is intact and is 14mm long with a pronounced curve 5mm wide. | 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: | 410
