Early-Medieval Anglo Saxon Ansate Brooch |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete copper alloy Middle Saxon Ansate brooch. One half of the brooch is missing along with the double lug and pin. The bow is sub-oval in section, with a central arch and a moulded tri-lobed terminal. At the highest point of the bow there are three prominent transverse ribs, the remainder of the bow now missing due to old breaks. On the back of the bow is a single catchplate projecting from the middle of the terminal end. The brooch measures 30.65mm in length, 7.39mm in width, 2.31mm in thickness, and weighs 2.76g.
This fragment belongs to the Ansate group of brooches, of which many are noted in East Anglia (see for example: NMS-317AA8, NMS-6B7F41 and CAM-8B57D7 on the PAS database). This example falls into Thorle's Group XII A1 (Domburg type and variants), and particularly the East Harling variant of this group, which seems particularly confined to Norfolk and Suffolk and is probably a local derivative of the Domburg type (Thorle, 2001: pl. 54 nos. 12-22, pl. 55 nos. 1-22, pp. 187, figs. 6-7). The group, and thus this brooch, date to the Middle Saxon period, c. 720-900 AD. |
