Title
Early Medieval ansate brooch
Description
English: A copper alloy Middle Saxon ansate (or caterpillar) brooch. It is complete except for the pin missing. The brooch is narrow and rectangular in plan, having a central arched bow with a moulded rib in the middle. The two end terminals are separated from the arch by a band of diagonal lines, and there is similar decoration in the centre of each side of the arch. One terminal is square, and the other (at the hinge end) is more upturned and rounded, quite beak-like. The brooch is flat-backed, with file marks visible on the reverse. On the underside there are the remains of a double pin lug with ferrous corrosion indicating the pin was iron. The catchplate is copper alloy and is complete. The brooch is 5.6mm in thickness at the apex of the arch, reducing to 3.6mm along the arms. Compare SWYOR-09F2C2 and SF-4F4E13.
