Title
Copper-alloy gilded early medieval Anglo-Saxon Great Square Headed brooch fragment
Description
English: A small fragment of what is probably an early medieval Anglo-Saxon brooch, probably of Great Square Headed type. As such, it probably dates to the sixth century AD. The fragment is copper-alloy with heavily encrusted ferrous corrosion on the reverse, probably relating to the pin mechanism. The front is decorated with engraved decoration comprising two groups of concentric rings either side of a 'T' shaped wedge. This wedge also includes a raised circular boss, probably integrally cast, within an oval setting. Further possible settings are situated above and below the 'T'. Gilding remains on much of the front face of the fragment. The fragment measures 18.63 mm long, 14.12 mm wide, 5.23 mm thick and weighs 2.3 grams.
