Description: | A cast copper alloy Early-medieval ansate brooch dating from the eighth to ninth century AD. The brooch is incomplete, missing one arm. The brooch terminates in a bilobed projection extending from a broadly rectangular arm. A curved bow separates the arm elements of the brooch, but the upper portion is broken just above the bow. Returning to the lower arm, this is decorated with punched annulet designs, of which there is one on each of the lobes and then two parallel lines of three on the arm. Two further annulet can be seen on the broken arm. The reverse of the brooch is plain, but retains the integrally cast hinge plate and catchplate, but the pin does not survive. AD 700-900.
