Title
Aesica brooch fragment
Description
English: Copper alloy Aesica brooch fragment length 13.5mm, width 18.5mm, thickness 9mm, weight 2.73g. The wings are hollow and hold the axis bar for the pin, there is a slot at the back of the wings for the pin, which is now missing. The front of the wings have a series of recessed moulded cells, some of which still retain traces of blue enamel. At the apex of the curve of the bow is a circular hole that had traces of an iron rivet. Flanking this, the sides have been expanded into a narrow point, this curves inwards to a crescent at the base which is all that remains of the lower par of the bow, this results in the loss of the catchplate.
70-100

The main distribution of these brooches is in the county of Conwell, with only a few examples found outside the county such as Somerton and Charterhouse both in Somerset (Anna Tyacke 2014 pers. comm). This brooch is classed as a Cornish Type 31, see CORN-8FDAD6 for a more detailed discussion.
