Description: | Fragment of an early medieval brooch, comprising the lower half of the foot-plate of a Frankish silver radiate-headed brooch with parallel sides; length, 25 mm. It is decorated with a gilded zigzag rib on either side of a plain, broad, median strip which expands to a triangle at the terminal. Since the head-plate is missing it is difficult to say which particular type of brooch the fragment represents, but it is broadly comparable with examples of Koch's type I.3.3 from cemetery sites in northern France and the Rhineland (A. Koch, 1998, Bügelfibeln der Merowingerzeit im westlichen Frankenreich, Mainz, pl. 6, nos. 1-2, 5 and 9).
