Title
DUR-353A49 : Square Headed Brooch : Early Medieval
Description
English: An incomplete gilt copper alloy square-headed brooch of Early-Medieval date (AD 525-575). The Brooch is composed of a trapezoidal head-plate decorated with a band of Style I animals, the limbs and heads of which are clearly shown. Either side of this decoration are plain bands bearing stamp marks. In the centre of the head plate is a square box surrounded with incised lentoid depressions. The foot bears a panel of decoration very similar to that seen on the brooch from Sewerby (Hines 1997, pl. 82b). A setting on the foot plate contain a red stone, either a garnet or glass.

The reverse is smooth and undecorated with no trace of gilding. A minor projection can be seen in the centre of the head-plate which is comprised of two partial semi-circular lugs running vertically between which is a minor amount of iron corrosion.

The brooch is highly fragmented with approximately 75% of the object recovered.
