Early Medieval Great Square-headed brooch fragment |

| Description |
English: A copper-alloy Early Medieval (Anglo Saxon) Great Square-headed brooch fragment. The surviving part is the terminal of the foot-plate; it is tongue shaped with slightly concave lateral sides and straight old break on its upper edge. The back face is plain and bends slightly forwards near the break; traces of white metal soldering are visible on the bent surface. The front face has a prominent teardrop-shaped boss which tapers upward into a narrow ridge turning into a possible stylised human face. The outer edges of the fragment are raised and leave a lowered rim around the boss and the adjacent central ridge. The lowest section of the rim is decorated with four parallel groves which outline the curved terminal part of the boss; at the level of the widest point of the boss the decoration of the rim turns into a series of transverse short grooves giving a ribbed effect; close to the break they continue with a symmetrical decorative curvilinear pattern. The front face still has much of the original gilding. The lowest right edge of the foot-plate has two iron rivets heavily corroded probably for repair or other re-use of the object.
The closest examples of this type are in the Group XI in Hines (1997 pp. 94-100). Dating to the late 5th to the third quarter of the 6th century AD. Length: 41.05 mm Width: 22.22 mm Thickness: 6.68 mm Weight: 10.73 g |
