Title
Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) Great Square-headed Brooch. Treasure case no. 2016 TXXX
Description
English: A fragment of an Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) silver-gilt great square-headed brooch (c. 410-c. 650). Treasure case 2016 T125.

This foot-plate fragment is part of the inner foot-plate panel with a central lozenge shaped cell that contains a lozenge. Part of the curving footplate inner panel has zigzag edges. There is a small lobe to one side that also has a zigzag design. Minute flecks of dark material within the recesses created by the zigzags could be niello. The rear face has an incomplete catch-plate. The curled-over part of the catch-plate that secured the pin-tip is missing due to a break.

The front is very worn in places and the breaks are old.

17.7mm (height); 23.6mm (width); 1.3mm (thickness); 7.3mm (thickness including catch-plate). Weight: 2.32g.

The design is very similar to the foot-plate inner panels on a trio of brooches from Grave 45, Chessell Down, Isle of Wight (Arnold 1982: fig. 12) as well as the foot-plate inner panel on a brooch from Lakenheath, Suffolk (Hines 1997: plate 32, Group IX).

Compare with similar brooches from the Isle of Wight: Treasure: 2014 T811 (addenda to 2003 T208) and Treasure: 2015 T374.

According to the GPS data provided by the finders of this brooch and brooch: 2015 T374, the find-spots of the brooches were c. 347.0 metres apart when found. Both are from the same parish.
