Description: | Middle Saxon Ansate brooch with moulded trefoil terminals and triple transverse ribs on bow. Damaged double pin lug with iron spindle. The catchplate flap is missing, but the point of the iron pin, remaining in position adhering to the reverse, shows that the brooch was lost or discarded when closed. Hattatt illustrates three examples of this type (nos. 1328, 1424 and 1424A), all said to be Norfolk finds. One was found in Barton Bendish parish (HER 17212) in 2005. Part of another was excavated at St Nicholas Street, Thetford (HER 1134, EAA 87 (1999) fig.36 no.7). This form of ansate brooch is the most common type recorded in Norfolk. Length 42mm, width 7mm. 8th ? 9th century. | 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: | 700
