A complete copper-alloy anthropomorphic figurine of possible early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) date, but potentially later. A standing figure, heavily stylized and apparently naked, but with no clear evidence of genitalia.  The face has a prominent triangular nose with a simple eye to either side and a crecentic groove for the mouth. The arms are flat against the sides of the body, crudely rendered via a rough groove along their inner edge. The left arm is slightly shorter than the right and seemingly missing the hand. The chest is defined by a Y-shaped groove and appears ma…

A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) flat annular brooch. Less than 1/4 of the original brooch survives. The outer face of the fragment is decorated with a central line of small incised dots and there are two, parallel, transverse grooves just before the break to one end. Both breaks are well worn. Penn and Brugmann (2007) place annular brooches within their phases FA2 to FB, which correspond to the chronological date range of c.AD 480 to c.550. Without evidence of a pin fitting this cannot be further refined (decoration appears to bear little rela…

A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) flat annular brooch. Around 1/3 of the original brooch survives. The outer face of the fragment is decorated with a central line of small incised dots and there are two pairs of fine transverse grooves flanking a wider groove just behind the break to one end. This is followed by a small projection in the centre of the break, which is all that remains of a narrowed pin slot. Both breaks are well worn. Penn and Brugmann (2007) place annular brooches within their phases FA2 to FB, which correspond to the chronologi…

A fragment of a copper alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) flat annular brooch. Slightly more than 1/4 of the brooch survives. The hoop is rectangular in cross-section. The outer face is heavily corroded, obscuring any possible decoration. The edge of a round pin hole can be seen in the break at one side surrounded by iron corrosion. A silvery surface patina is visible in places on both faces.  Penn and Brugmann (2007) place annular brooches with round pin holes within their phases FA2b (c.AD 500-c.AD 530/550) with some possible use either side of this. Lengt…
