Description: | A complete copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon small long brooch, measuring 65.43mm in total length and 32.79mm in width. The head is trefoil in shape around a central square, it is undecorated. The bow is arched and faceted with a central longitudinal ridge, the flat panel is undecorated but the half round panel has a decorative band of six transverse mouldings across it. The foot flares into a spatulate form and has small vertical notches along its terminal edge.
On the back face the pin loop is complete and there is a mass of corroded iron, presumably the remains of an iron pin, surrounding it. The catch plate is also complete, again with corroded iron adhering to it. | 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
