Title
Early Medieval Ansate brooch
Description
English: Fragment of an Early Medieval copper alloy brooch of Ansate type, roughly triangular with a large, projecting ring and dot motif at each corner, between these is a deeply incised cross. On what remains of the bow are a number of incised, longitudinal, longitudinal lines. The underside of the fragment bears two integrally cast lugs around which are the remains of the iron spring and pin. Length 22.4mm, Width 16.4mm, Height 10.3mm, Mass 3.90g.

This fragment is difficult to parallel amongst British finds but it can be compared to find Merovingian finds, in particular some in his Group 10 ( Hubener W. Gleicharmige Bugelfibeln der Merowingerzeit in Westeuropa, Madrider Mittelilungen 13, 211-269, Abb. 17). An eighth century date is likely.
