An incomplete cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon Small-Long brooch. It is missing the entire brooch beneath the bow, the pin, catchplate and possibly the extremities of the headplate due to old breaks. The headplate is flat, rectangular in shape and measuring 22.01mm in width by 18.07mm in height. Along the top edge of the headplate is a row of punched annulets. However, it is uncertain whether there was additional decoration either above this row of annulets or to the sides of the headplate, as the edges are very worn and it remains uncertain if the brooch had a simple square headplate or …

An incomplete cast copper alloy annular brooch of Anglo-Saxon/Early-Medieval date. Approximately one quarter of the brooch survives intact, the remainder missing due to old breaks.

Borders of crescentic punched decoration are visible along both edges of the front face and at the centre of the fragment is a group of incised vertical lines with a larger groove at their centre. This might plausibly have acted as a pin slot. A further incised vertical line is visib…

Description: A fragment of a silver possible Anglo-Saxon brooch. This fragment has old breaks on all edges and is now roughly triangular in shape. The front face has traces of worn possibly chip carved decoration, what is depicted is very unclear. The back face is rough and also worn.
Dimensions:10.66mm by 10.41mm in size, 2.38mm in thickness and 0.83g in weight.
Discussion: This fragment is really too small to identify its original function but a brooch fragment, possibly from a square headed brooch does seem likely.
The precious metal content of this possible brooch f…

Description: A fragment of a possible silver gilt Anglo Saxon brooch, perhaps a fragment of the catch plate area of a square headed brooch. The fragment is very worn and none of the edges appear to be original. It is roughly rectangular in shape but one short edge is diagonal. The chip carving consists of four border grooves and the surviving part of the design within these appears to depict the lower halves of two scroll like motifs with a pellet between them. One of these motifs may have an open work hole through it or this could be due to wear or damage.
On the back face there…

A copper alloy Early Medieval cruciform brooch fragment. It is the animal head terminal only, the rest of the object is missing due to old breaks. The terminal is worn with patches of corrosion. The animal head consists of a pair of ears above a transverse groove. The animal's snout is squared off with a hint of knops at each corner to suggest nostrils. The metalwork running round the edge of the snout has split in antiquity and a tiny rivet has been placed at the centre of the snout near the nostrils, to hold the terminal together. Whilst this is reminiscent of a strap-end terminal i…
