| Description |
English: Middle Saxon cast copper-alloy ansate brooch. The brooch is rectangular with decoration dividing the strip into four relatively even panels. There are flat panels at either end and the centre two rise at 45 degrees to meet at 90 degrees in the centre. Each panel is decorated on the front with a raised rectangle surrounded by a border of square pellets. There is an additional thin plain border around the entire front and across the centre. On the sides, at the corners between each panel are projecting rounded knops. The end two panels are slightly trapezoid with wider terminals, narrowing towards the centre of the brooch.
The back is plain with a rectangular catch-plate, the tip of which is bent over 180 degrees, at one end. At the opposite end are the remains of double rectangular lugs to hold a pin, the piercings at the top of the lugs are broken with old breaks and the pin is missing. It is 44.7mm long and 13.6mm wide, the plate is 1.9mm thick and it is 16.0mm thick in total including the bend and catch-plate; it weighs 7.72 grams. This brooch belongs to Thorle group X1 B2, there are close parallels from Domburg on the continent and also a similar fragmentary example is known from Thelnetham 016, in Suffolk. It dates to c.800-900 AD. |
