Title |
Anglo-Saxon Great Square-Headed Brooch |
||
Description |
English: A fragment from the foot of a cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon long brooch, probably of Great Square-Headed form. Part of the terminal end of the footplate survives, the remainder of the brooch now missing due to old breaks. The terminal is oval shaped in section, rectangular in form, with a slightly curved profile and chip carved decoration on the front face. This decoration is in the form of a human face mask and comprises two circular eyes with central pellets, a sub-triangular nose, beneath which can just be seen the start of a mouth or moustache before the brooch terminates in old breaks. The mask has straight, undecorated sides and a slightly curved brow. Above the brow extends a very small area of the footplate lower borders and bar, seemingly expanding horizontally, but the precise form remains uncertain due to the preservation of the object. There is an added white metal coating on the exterior surfaces of the brooch. This fragment measures 18.35mm in length, 16.51mm in width, 2.65mm in thickness, and weighs 2.46g.
This is a fragment from the foot of an Anglo-Saxon long brooch. The decoration and form of the front face suggest this may well have been a Great Square-Headed brooch similar to an examples from Suffolk published by Hines (1997: pls. 16b, 50a) and may therefore belong in either his Group IV or XV brooches. This indicates a 6th century AD date for the brooch. |
