| Title |
Brooch foot (possibly of a Ansate) |
||
| Description |
English: A fragment of uncertain 'long' or bow brooch, probably early Anglo-Saxon (5th or 6th century AD.
Description: A small part of the bow and the upper part of the foot (the flat panel) survives, with breaks at both ends; the break across the bow is fresher than the very worn break across the foot. The bow is rectangular, not flaring or tapering, and is decorated on the upper surface with two raised triangular facets at the bottom. The junction of bow and foot has three transverse ridges, and two further parallel transverse ridges are present just above the break at the foot. On the reverse, the foot has a catchplate which runs the full length of the flat panel, with its end bent round to the left (when viewed from the reverse). There is iron corrosion within the curl, probably the remains of the brooch's pin. Measurements: Length 23.48mm, width 7.34mm, thickness 3.35mm, Foot plate length 9.72mm, width 10.21mm, thickness 1.56mm. Weight 4.5g. Discussion: This is likely to be a fragment of small-long brooch, but is also possibly from a small cruciform brooch. The length of the catchplate, running the full length of the flat panel, means that it is unlikely to be from a later ansate brooch. |
