Title
Lead possible Anglo-Saxon brooch fragment
Description
English: A small lead or lead alloy fragment which, due to its style, may have been part of a small long Anglo-Saxon brooch, lead Saxon brooches may be models for an early stage of the casting process or copies in a cheaper material. This fragment has a square central panel, c10.7mm by c10.7mm in size, which has a central recessed circle, this is small for a central panel, no copper-alloy parallel with so small a central panel could be found. One wing survives and is crescent shaped, measuring 11.2mm in length and 14.1mm in width. The remains of the other wings and the rest of the brooch can be seen as fragmentary scars along the other three incomplete edges. The back face of the fragment is rough and has a horizontal straight groove across it, what function this would have served is unclear.
