Description: | A copper alloy early Medieval brooch; a small long brooch of unusual form. Only the bow and lappets survives. The bow is decorated with moulded reeding dividing it into four convex vertical ridges, the two inner ones with a central incised line as well. Below the bow is a set of lappets, the edges of which are broken. They are decorated with a central line of single ring and dot motifs along the centre of the brooch running from the bow to the foot, with a single much larger ring and dot motif on each lappet. The foot of the brooch is missing due to an old break, as is the head. The top of the catchplate survives behind the lappets. The brooch has an even light green patina. Two very similar brooches, but more complete, are NARC3266 and NARC3420. They have been dated to the early Medieval period of circa 410 - 600 AD.
