Record ID: PUBLIC-492F13
Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy fragment of an object, possibly an Early Medieval Anglo-Saxon small long brooch, c. 6th century AD. The fragment is in very poor condition, therefore a positive identification is impossible. However, the small portion that remains suggests that it comprised a portion of the square brooch head, lightly curved neck and body. The cross-section at the 'head' is relatively flat, whereas the faceting on the body suggests a sub-triangular cross-section. No traces of the pin mechanism survive. The colour of the fragment ranges from a mottled mid-green to reddish brown…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy object, perhaps an incomplete middle Anglo-Saxon ansate brooch. One end is flat and flared with straight sides, measuring 0.9mm thick. This flat area is decorated with three irregular longitudinal rows of small ring-and-dot motifs, sixteen in all; eleven of the dots have perforated the metal. The upper edge is incomplete at one corner; the other is right-angled, with a straight edge which leads to a W-shaped notch (a central indentation with a small V-shaped projection).
The object tapers more strongly near to what may be the bow of the brooch. This is narrowed to 8-…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Published
Head and stub of bow from a cast copper-alloy early-medieval cruciform brooch, with the remains of an iron spring on the reverse. The brooch has a slightly raised head plate which flares from top to bottom, and is decorated with a line of punchmarks down either side edge. The punchmarks appear to be double-crescent or half-ring and dot. To either side is a flatter wing, now with worn rounded corners; there is a trace of a similar punchmark on the lower corner of the left-hand wing (as you look at the brooch, with bow at the bottom). A half-round knob springs from the centre of each wi…

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A late Saxon, cast, copper-alloy disc brooch with backward-looking beast within a border of 28 pellets (this is the most frequently recorded number of pellets on a brooch of this type). The beast has an upturned tail and open jaws. It has no mane as many other brooches of this type do. There is a ring-and-dot eye, a single ring-and-dot on the beast's breast and one on it's haunches. The beast has four legs, with two or three toes on each which blend into the border pellets. On the reverse are the integrally-moulded pin-lug and catch-plate. The pin-lug is positioned directly behind the…
