English: An incomplete copper alloy Early medieval possible ansate brooch, dating to c. AD 600-900. The bow of the brooch is a long rectangular shape, with each end widening slightly. Both terminal ends are decorated with three ring and dots. The centre of the bow arches slightly, from the centre of this there is a rounded narrow neck with a bird sitting on the top. The bird has a triangular body decorated with three ring and dots, at the rear end there is a triangular tail, again with a ring and dot in the centre. The head end of the bird is rounded, with a rectangular shape projecting up from the head. This is worn. On the reverse on the brooch underneath one arm of the brooch there is a rectangular pin hinge, in the centre of this is brown iron staining, underneath the other arm is the pin catch plate. The catch plate is a rounded hook to hold the now missing pin. The catch plate narrows slightly towards the terminal end.
