Title
Ansate
Description
English: Fragment of copper-alloy ansate brooch of rather unusual type. It is straight-sided and decorated with rectangular panels of ornament, each with a raised border around a low-relief panel of transverse lines. One of these panels forms the top of the bow, and one on either side form the slopes of the bow. One of these sloping panels is broken (neither a particularly fresh nor particularly old break) and the other runs down to just beyond the angle with the terminal. Here it either ends or has a very old break, presumably at a point of weakness just beyond the raised border. On the reverse is a stub of either catchplate or transverse pin bar lug, probably the latter as it appears to be broken at a perforation which is filled with iron corrosion. If the terminal is unbroken, it is exceptionally short (c. 2 mm). Width 10 mm, surviving length 25 mm.
