Title
Early Medieval great square headed brooch
Description
English: A fragment of a copper alloy Early Medieval brooch, a Great Square Headed brooch dating from AD 500 - 600. The surviving piece is part of the footplate with the pin catchplate on the reverse. The catchplate extends into a central rib. Both ends and both sides of the brooch are broken, though there is a small length of the original edge surviving.

The fragment is decorated with a central rib springing from possible nostrils and with a large convex pellet near the upper break. To each side is a ladder-like ribbon with transverse grooves. The outer edges of these are curved to follow the edge of the footplate frame. A row of gilded annulets can be seen on the left hand curved edge element. The rest of the surface is corroded and most of the decoration is obscured.

The brooch fragment is 41mm long, 40.4mm wide and 12.3mm thick across the catchplate, 3.2mm thick across the plate only. 21.2g.

Compare the decoration on FAKL-BD0AB1. Dr Kevin Leahy also suggests as a parallel, a brooch from Welbeck Hill, Lincolnshire which Hines placed in his Group XXII Phase 3, AD 525-570 (Hines, 1997, p. 343, pl. 83a).
