Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Small-long brooch of probable 6th century AD date (R. Hattatt; 1985; pp.211).
The piece consists of the sub-rectangular headplate with a remnant of the bow located at the centre of the bottom edge. The pin attachment is on the reverse and comprises a single lug with a rounded top edge and central perforation. The pin is missing but there is evidence for it in the form of iron staining within the attachment hole. The surface of the brooch is black, which may indicate a corroded silvering or tinning.
The fragment measures 20mm high, by 21.6mm wide and 10.9mm deep; the weight is 5.79g. | 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
