Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon brooch, The foot of which is missing due to old breaks, now worn.
The head plate is trefoil in over all shape and the arms crescentic, one terminal of the central arm is missing due to an old break. The outer edges of the crescentic arms are decorated with tiny transverse grooves. The head measures 31.6mm in width and 26mm in length. The arched bow measures 12.4mm in length and 7mm in width, it has a central longitudinal ridge. In the centre of the reverse of the head plate there is an incomplete pin loop with iron corrosion within and around it, this is most likely to be the remains of the iron pin.
This small long brooch is very similar to a more complete example from Barrington, Cambridgeshire (McGregor and Bolick 1993, 145, no 15.75). | 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: | 500
