Title |
Early-medieval brooch: Brooch fragment |
||
Description |
English: A worn cast copper alloy fragment of the bow of an Anglo-Saxon great square-headed brooch. The bow fragment is has an arched upper section with three raised ribs; beneath this is a worn triangular section that depicts the face of a fantastical creature with pronounced eyebrows, eyes and cheek bones and a curled snout; either side of this beast lines radiate out to the edge. The reverse is worn and pitted with corrosion; there appears to be the remains of two ridges, possibly part of a catchplate or the attachment for the rest of the brooch. This fragment is too small to be able to ascertain what class (or Hines' Type) of great-square headed brooch it belongs to. Dr Kevin Leahy comments that the 'face on this fragment seems to be one of the nicest examples' of this style of decoration which appears on a number of these brooches. Dr Leahy suggests a date of c. AD 520-570. |
