Anglo-Saxon/Early-Medieval ansate brooch |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon/Early-Medieval ansate brooch. One terminal and a small section of the bow survive, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It is flat, rectangular in form with a flattened rectangular terminal and curving bow of the same width. At each side of the brooch where bow and terminal meet are single projecting knops, with similar knops at each corner of the terminal. The front face of the brooch has incised decoration comprising a double grooved border with multiple transverse grooves that runs along both sides of the brooch and across the outer edge of the terminal. At the centre of the terminal is a cross saltire, with a second identical motif visible on the surviving section of the bow. On the back face of the terminal is an integrally cast double lug that preserves the corroded remains of the iron pin, which is now mostly missing due to old breaks. The entire object measures 22.99mm in length, 10.28mm in width (at bow, 13.83mm at side knops), 1.73mm in thickness at bow, 14.45mm in height, and weighs 5.26g.
This ansate brooch is of Middle Anglo-Saxon date. It probably belongs within Thorle's Group XI brooches (Thorle, 2001), with similar examples noted in Group XI B2 (Thorle, 2001: fig. 54 nos. 1, 3; see also SF-EED185, SUSS-040CE0 and a fragmentary example from Suffolk, Thelnetham 016). It is of Middle Anglo-Saxon date, c.8th-9th centuries AD. |
