Description: | A cast copper alloy Ansate brooch dating to the Early Medieval period. The head, bow and foot are D-shaped in cross-section. It has an arched middle section and flat rectangular terminals. It is decorated with a series of transverse ridges, one in its centre, one at the point where the arch ends and one at each terminal. At the rear of the object is a double pin lug which is incomplete and would have held the hinge and pin which are missing. The catchplate is almost complete. The object has a mid-brown patina and can be dated to c. AD 650 - AD 850.
