Description: | A cast copper alloy small long brooch dating to the late fifth or sixth centuries AD. The head plate is sub rectangular with rounded edges and semi-circular cut outs. It is decorated with a marginal row of crescental stamps and possesses two circular perforations. The head plate extends to a slightly arched D sectioned bow. The leg originates in a narrow, undecorated field and extends to two panels of moulding with horizontal notches; the leg flattens and flairs to form a crescentic foot. On the underside of the head plate is a semi-circular lug with circular perforation to hold the pin in place. The catchplate is damaged but trapezoidal in shape and is positioned just below the bow. The brooch measures 52mm in length, the head plate has a width of 21mm whereas the foot has a width of 14mm. The brooch has a dark grey patina with patches of green corrosion. There appear to be patches of tinning on the head plate. | 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
