Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon small long brooch, measuring 54.6mm in length. The head-plate is trefoil and measures 27mm in width and 18mm in height, the central arm is incomplete due to damage and wear. The arms are D-shaped and there are two parallel circular holes either side of the base of the central arm. The front face of the head plate is decorated with a central ring and dot motif and one in the centre of each arm. The bow is short and measures 18mm in length and 10.2mm in width. It has two parallel transverse grooves at its top and base, it is faceted and decorated with two parallel pairs of ring and dot motifs, either end of the bow. The flat panel below the bow has three transverse grooves and the half round panel has two bands of decoration, each of three transverse grooves. The rest of the foot of this brooch is missing due old breaks.
On the reverse of the head plate there is an incomplete pin loop surrounded with corroded iron, which is likely to be the remains of the pin. There is a complete catch plate on the reverse of the foot. | 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
