About half of the flat circular frame of an early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy annular brooch, with an original diameter of c. 40mm. One break is across a neat rounded hole in the frame. This may be the pin hole, but on the reverse there is solder around the hole and it may possibly alternatively be a repair. There is also some iron corrosion on the reverse here, which could be from the pin. The frame is otherwise well preserved here, and at 6.1mm wide appears to retain its original width. The inner edge is 1.2mm thick and it tapers towards the outer edge which is 0.6mm thick. Th…

Head and bow from an early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy small-long brooch. The flat, apparently undecorated headplate has a sub-rectangular central panel with three flat 'knobs', all of which appear to have been mushroom-shaped, or D-shaped above narrowed waists. This shape of headplate is often known as 'trefoil'. On the reverse of the headplate is a broken pin bar lug (worn breaks) with iron staining around it. All the edges of the headplate are worn. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section, quite highly arched and simple, with a groove across the top the onl…

Chunky copper-alloy bar from an early Anglo-Saxon wrist-clasp, apparently of Hines Form B10 or possibly alternatively B4. The bar is cast in one piece, with three cuboidal elements, one in the centre and one at either end. These are linked by D-section areas, each one decorated with two broad U-section transverse grooves or flutes, alternating with three ridges each flanked by narrow grooves. Each of the cuboidal bosses has a substantial white-metal coating, probably of tin. On the flat reverse there are two broken pierced lugs, set transversely and pierced longitudinally. Length 40.3…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete Early Medieval copper-alloy small long/cruciform brooch dating to circa AD 450-570. The extant element is virtually complete save for the apex of the head and the lower foot, terminal and pin. The head plate is flat and rectangular. It terminates in old breaks on each of its edges and it is, therefore, unclear whether there would have been attached any side knops or integrally cast elements. The headplate is undecorated. The bow emerges from the lower edge of the headplate. It is curved in profile and plano-convex in section. Running down the centre is a lo…

An incomplete Medieval copper-alloy buckle dating to circa AD 1200-1400. The extant piece consists of the plate, surviving in two parts, now separated. The plates is formed of two sheets of copper alloy which would have been joined together by rivets. Two circular-sectioned rivets survive on the interior face of the front plate and slot through two circular rivet holes on the other plate, although now are no longer joined due to surrounding breaks. Surrounding the rivet holes on the interior face is organic material which would have formed the strap. The exterior face of one of the pla…
