Description: | Two adjoining fragments of a copper alloy small-long brooch dating to the early Anglo-Saxon period. The head plate is flat and rectangular with notched edges and semi-circular cut outs at each corner. The head plate is worn but a marginal row of ring and dot are just visible. The head plate is separated from the bow by a small rectangular faceted panel. The bow is slightly arched and V shaped in section. A further faceted rectangular panel with one horizontal groove separates the bow from the leg. The leg is rectangular in shape and D sectioned. Two marginal rows of ring and dot are just visible. The leg is separated from the foot by a moulded rectangular panel decorated with two horizontal incised grooves. The foot is tongue shaped and D sectioned. It is decorated with two vertical rows of stamped ring and dot. On the underside of the head plate is a semi-circular lug with circular perforation which is broken. This would have held the pin in place. The catchplate is trapezoidal in shape and positioned at the top of the leg. The brooch measures 79mm in length, the head plate has a width of 18mm, the width of the bow is 8mm. | 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: | 450 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
