Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy ansate brooch of early-medieval date (c. 9th century). The object has broken approximately in half at the centre of the bow; the terminal which would have featured the double pin lug is missing along with half of the bow, and the pin. The extant terminal is broadly circular. On its lower surface, just before the bow, is a D-shaped catch-plate. On the upper surface it would appear to be plain. The bow (W.: c. 6.2mm) rises to a high, rounded arch. It would also appear to be plain.This Middle Saxon artefact can be compared with those from Ipswich illustrated in West (1998, 216; fig. 98), and can be classified as Hubener's Group 1/Thorle's Group II. It now has a variable mid-green colour and has suffered some abrasions to its surviving terminal.
