Description: | Early medieval cast copper-alloy brooch fragment, possibly from a small square-headed brooch, 5th to 6th century. Fragment consists of a sub-rectangular foot with part of semi-circular bow surviving. Foot is decorated with two large ring and dot motifs, one on either side (the left and right) of the foot, and two smaller ring and dot motifs, one on the top and bottom of the foot. Reverse is plain but does include the remains of the catchplate, minus the curl. The original surface is an even mid green and exposed surfaces are bright/light green. The break edges are worn. It measures 27.74mm long, 25.8mm wide across the footplate, 9.32mm wide across the bow, and weighs 6.44g. Examples of early medieval brooches can be found MacGregor, A. and Bolick, E. 1993.
