Title
Ansate brooch
Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy middle Anglo-Saxon ansate or caterpillar brooch. One terminal and part of the bow of this brooch survives the rest is now missing due to an old break. It is rectangular in shape and measures 28mm in surviving length and 15mm in width. The surviving terminal flares outwards slightly towards its tip and has corroded iron through and around its centre, this could be the remains of an iron pin loop or catch plate of some sort. The front face of the brooch is decorated with ring-and-dot motifs, at the terminal end these are arranged in three parallel rows of different lenghts, the central row having five motifs and the two flanking rows three or four motifs. There is then a small gap and part of two more parallel ring-and-dot motifs can be seen just before the bow ends due to an old break.

This ansate brooch is similar to other examples found in Suffolk from Hessett (see SF-9377), Great Barton (see SF-E242D4) and Stuston (see SF-BBEF11).
