Fragment from a copper alloy Early Medieval small long brooch, c. 500-600 AD. The artefact comprises the foot and bow of the brooch. The artefact is broken just above the bow, the bow is concave and lowers to an expanded, decorated foot. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated, but the obverse of the foot features a border of irregularly incised dots around four roughly incised crosses divided by a larger central cross. The artefact has a dark brown patina and some damage to the edges.   As this brooch lacks a head or lappets it is not possible to assign it a Penn and Brug…

An Early Medieval copper alloy annular brooch. It is missing the pin but otherwise complete. The frame (37mm diameter) has a flattened D-shaped cross-section (3mm thick), with traces of radial lines visible in places on the curved surface. This band broadens into animal heads, facing each other, with open mouths joined by a narrowed bar. The heads have clearly delineated mouths, but are too worn for any trace of other features to be visible. The reverse is flat and undecorated. This brooch is similar to YORYM-507065, but with only two animal heads. The Style II animal heads and r…

A cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch, dating c. 475-600. The brooch is mostly complete, missing its foot terminal and pin. The head of the brooch is cruciform, with a central panel defined on three sides by a line of stamped crescent-over-dot motif. The side wings do not appear to bear any more decoration, except for a small notch cut in the lower edge of each wing, to further distinguish from the bow. The top arm of the cruciform head bears more damage to its edges, though not much material has been lost; the base of the top arm also has a notch in its lower corners, …

A copper-alloy fragment of an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch, dating c. 450-600. Only a segment of the foot remains, from the base of the bow to the portion just above the terminal.

Below this is a rectangular panel that is undecorated except for a simple band across the width of the panel in its centre in low relief. The panel then yields to a series of moulded collars in high relief: first a double collar, followed by a triple collar, and probably another double collar but this is …

A fragment of a copper-alloy small-long brooch of Anglo-Saxon manufacture, c. 450-600. Only a portion of the head of the brooch survives, including the majority of a sub-rectangular panel and the integral knob emerging from the centre of the top edge. The knob has a hemispherical terminal with a moulded collar, and is 'half-round' in section. The knob is cast integral. On the centre of the reverse is a single lug, obscurbed by iron corrosion from the hinged pin. No evidence for side knobs or the bow remains, the head having broken away from these aspects.
