Title
BROOCH
Description
English:

Middle to Late Anglo-Saxon copper alloy ansate brooch. Both terminals are sub-circular and are each decorated on the front with three punched ring-and-dots, in a triangular arrangement. The terminals are joined by an obtusely angled bow, which is approximately D-shaped in cross-section, but is in fact subtly chamfered so that it exhibits a central and two side arrises running longitudinally along the front.

On the reverse of the brooch projecting off-centre from each terminal are the remnants of a pin lug. Each one is broken and worn at the level of the pin-hole. One of the lugs exhibits some iron staining on the surviving part of the pin perforation and around its base.

Height: 39.6mm. Width: 8.0mm, 8.8mm (across terminals), 4.6mm (centre of bow). Thickness 1.3mm, 1.6mm (terminals), 5.9mm, 6.2mm (terminals and lugs). Weight: 4g. 700-1000AD
