Description: | A cast copper-alloy small-long brooch of the Early Medieval period.
The headplate is missing, broken at the top of the bow.
The bow is arched, carinated in front and concave behind, with mouldings at the top and bottom of the bow forming faceted corners . The bow also has a medial ridge.
The foot at the bottom of the bow begins as a flat panel that ends in 5 raised transverse ribs. Below the ribbing is a flaring/triangular terminal with a wide base with a thickened edge. Ring-and-dot decoration is stamped down either side of the lower plate terminal.
A portion of the catchplate remains on the underside of the foot plate below the bow. Otherwise, the underside is undecorated. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rob Collins | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
