Early medieval: Round-headed plate brooch |
||
| Description |
English: An Early Medieval gilded copper alloy round-headed or equal-ended plate brooch. Both ends appear to be triangular and are decorated with faces. Most of the catchplate end is missing.
Barrie Ager kindly comments: This is an example of an unusual equal-armed type with concave-sided, triangular arms, which has very few early Anglo-Saxon parallels as yet, although it is too early to be a continental ansate brooch. A 6th-century date does indeed seem likely on the basis of the Style I decoration. The type comes mainly from Kent, the Isle of Wight (IOW-A71E22) and Wessex and there is a very close parallel from Tewkesbury, Glos. (GLO-4E0EBD). The published pair from Lyminge, Kent, gr. 24, also has Style I. One in the BM from Frilford, Oxon, is plain with pierced lobes (reg.no. 1867,0204.8) and is similar in form to the one above with ring-and-dot decoration from the Isle of Wight. Sue Brunning kindly comments: These brooches appear to be connected with another triangular-armed version with straight sides and with a similar distribution (KENT2479 from Kingston; IOW-FE1124; and IOW-71C99A), including a pair with ring-and-dot decoration from Collingbourne Ducis, gr. 64, Wilts. The shape of the broken end does seem to suggest a rounded head-plate at that end; maybe something similar to a couple of little bow brooches from King's Field, Faversham, although they don't have the concave sides e.g. MCS14024 and MCS14004. I think your parallel on the PAS database looks good too, that brooch is not completely symmetrical so it's not out of the question that it could have been equal-armed. I think the shape is suggestive of a rounded head-plate though |
