Title
Copper-alloy Square Headed Brooch
Description
English: A fragment of an Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy great square-headed brooch. The metal has a light green patina. The brooch is so fragmentary it has not been possible to assign it to one of Hines's groups (Hines, J. 1997). The zones used here to describe the various parts of the brooch relate to the zones described by Hines (Hines, J. 1997, p.5, fig.1). The only parts of the brooch to survive are the top part of the bow (zone h) and the central part of the headplate (zones b & e) the headplate second panel and headplate inner panel. Zone b is fragmentary having sustained damage to all edges. The bow has a flattened 'D' shaped cross-section with a lateral narrow triangular ridge 1.37mm wide and 0.65mm high on the under side. The upper surface of the bow has a plain raised border with a plain lateral parallel raised band down the centre. The bow is 9.32mm wide, 2.55mm thick and extends to a length of 6.46mm where a transverse break occurred that has now worn smooth. The proximal end of the bow curves slightly into the headplate inner panel. The headplate inner panel is rectangular 14.50mm by 6.70mm and surrounded by a raised plain boarder 2.04mm wide. Outside of this border zone 'b', the headplate second panel, surrounds zone 'e' on three sides with a width of at least 4.79mm. The headplate second panel appears to be undecorated but this might be a result of the damage sustained to the brooch. The headplate inner panel is filled with incised decoration, which consists of an incised line that forms a rectangular border, c.1.18mm from the raised outer border. Within this boarder are detailed, but now faint, incisions that might have been lettering. On the reverse of the headplate are the remains of two lugs that sit parallel to each other with a gap of 6.11mm. The lugs are 6.84mm long, 1.96mm wide and would have been greater than 3.00mm tall with an internal diameter of c.1.82mm. The overall dimensions of the brooch fragment are: length 21.04mm, width 25.40mm, thickness 8.82mm and weight 4.79g.
