Description: | Early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy supporting-arm brooch or Stützarmfibel, relatively complete but with the spring, pin and axis bar missing. Oblique grooves decorate the head and there is a pair of transverse but slightly oblique grooves at the top and near the base of the bow, the latter just above a pair of edge notches. On the foot the edges are chamfered above and below transverse grooves, again set slightly obliquely. The width of the head or 'arm', 24mm, falls between the upper limit for Böhme's (1974) Perlberg type (22mm) and the lower limit for the Mahndorf type (25mm). Length 37.5mm. Dates to c. 420-c. 480 AD.
