Description |
English: A fragment of an Early Medieval copper alloy Great Square-headed brooch, dating AD 510-550. The foot and part of the bow remain, with the lower two lateral lobes having broken away. There are two lateral lobes still present towards the top of the bow. The object is decorated on one side with a central circular recess towards the broken end. there is a raised edge around the recess and it contains red glass or possibly garnet.Two ridges run down the centre of the bow, through the circular setting, ending just before a foliate design that resembles a quatrefoil. There are two ridges at the foot before a bulbous end. There is also a scrolling decoration on the upper lateral lobes. The object has a mid-light green patination and has been bent just above the foliate decoration. There are no traces of a catchplate, which was likely attached to the section of the brooch which is no longer present.
Kevin Leahey has identified this as the foot of a Great Square-headed brooch, with the closest parallel found in Hines (1997, 325, pl. 18b). The example in Hines is said to contain enamel inlay, whereas this example contains glass or garnet. This brooch belongs to Hines' group V, giving it a date of AD 510-550. Dimensions: length: 35.74 mm; width: 18.53 mm; thickness: 3.59 mm; weight: 3.90g. Reference: Hines, J. A New Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Great Square-headed Brooches. Woodbridge: Boydell Press. Identification by Kevin Leahey, National Finds Advisor for Early Medieval Metalwork. |
