Title
Early Medieval brooch
Description
English: A copper-alloy fragment of a possible ansate brooch, also known as an equal-armed brooch, dating to the Early-Medieval period (c. AD 700-900). Only one of the circular terminals remains, which is flat and is decorated on one side with a ring and dot motif. On the reverse there is a loop present, which may have held the pin.

The metal is a mid-green patina.

The brooch terminal is 9.4mm in diameter, 10.3mm in length, 1.6mm thick and weighs 1.1g.

The remaining part of the brooch would have contained a narrow arched bow and an identical terminal at the other end. Typically these brooches are thought to reflect trade across the north sea, however an increasing amount of these brooch types found in Britain, including two examples from Coppergate, have led some to suggest manufacture in Britain (Hinton, 1996 3). Hattatt (1987) suggests a late 7th-9th century for these brooches.
