Title
Early medieval equal arm or Ansate type brooch
Description
English: Probably a cast copper alloy equal arm or Ansate type brooch dating from the early medieval period, that is c. 8th-9th century. The brooch is sturdy and almost complete with only the hinge mechanism and the pin missing. The brooch is very angular, looking as if it was shaped from a thick strip of bronze. The surface is very worn and the cast decoration difficult to read. It looks as if the brooch was gilt. The cast decoration is the same on each arm and consists of a cross with bent arms, while there was possible a four-petalled flower on top of the bow. The underside is plain with two lugs remaining on the side where the hinge mechanism sat and a smaller lug under the other arm - this is what remains of the pin rest.

Possibly Hübener Gruppe 10 (1972, Abb. 19, no.6), Thörles Gruppe XII A 1 (Typ Domburgh und Varianten).
