Description: | a copper alloy brooch fragment, or other personal adornment . It is a small, burnt penannular fragment, with a distinctive circular piercing in the cente. It is incomplete, measuring 14.21mm in length, 10.84mm in width and weighing 2.37g. The surfaces are uneven and no traces of any decoration survive. It is possible that it may be a semi-circular lappet with perforation, from a cruciform brooch, which became detached during cremation. An example is illustrated in MacGregor and Bolick, 1993, no.12.34. A number of fragments of burnt copper alloy have been discovered from this area of Yaxley, where an Anglo-Saxon cemetery site is known. | 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: | 420
