Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy brooch of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date, probably a small-long brooch. Only the foot of the brooch survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The top of the foot is rectangular in form, trapezoidal in section and with evidence of corrosion and post-depositional damage where it terminates in old breaks. It has a transverse collar formed from two groups of three transverse ridges, each group separated by a narrow neck. Beneath the collar the foot flares to a triangular collar that has faceted sides and an upturned base, which is decorated with a series of six evenly spaced vertical notches. The back face of the foot is flat and undecorated, with the remains of an integrally cast copper-alloy catchplate that is missing its outer edge due to old breaks. The entire object has a dark green patina and measures 26.47mm in length, 11.89mm in width (at terminal, 5.07mm at foot), 3.39mm in thickness and 3.06g in weight.
This is the foot from an Anglo-Saxon long brooch, probably a small-long brooch. Similar examples are published from Suffolk, notably from Icklingham (West, 1998: no. 55.3, see also 108.5, 137.1), and suggest a date in the 6th century AD for the current example. |
