Description: | A copper-alloy arm or foot from an Early-Medieval small-long brooch.The surviving piece is of flat section and roughly semicircular, having a broken projection at the centre of its otherwise flat side. A pair of stamped or rouletted arcs decorates the upper surface, extending inwards from the central projection, curving towards the right and left corners respectively.Length: 13.3mm; width: 7.7mm; thickness: 1.6mm; weight: 0.73g.Brooches bearing similar arms and feet are held in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum (MacGregor and Bolick 1993: 142 - 143). Small-long brooches were probably first produced in the early 5th century and continued to be made well into the 6th (ibid. 125).
