A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (late Anglo-Saxon) strap end with inlaid niello and silver wire decoration. Only the lower zoomorphic terminal end survives. The outer face of the terminal has moulded, C-shaped 'ears' curving inwards to either side of its inner end and an inwards cuving, blunt snout, but few other visible features. A small sub-lozenge-shaped section of niello remains in the centre of the head with inlaid silver wire in an S-shape with additional curls to either side. The outer face of the small surviving section of the body above this …

An incomplete copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) small-long brooch. At the head there is a trefoil-shaped plate consisting of a central rectangular section with a D-shaped projection to either side, each with a notch to either side behind it creating a constriction. A further D-shaped section would have projected from the outer end originally, but this is now missing. To the reverse there is the inner remains of a single lug pin fitting. The upper part of the bow projects downwards from the lower edge of the head. This is D-shaped in cross-section with a flat rev…

An fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (middle Anglo-Saxon) ansate brooch. Only one terminal survives. This is sub-lozenge shaped with a straight break across its inner end. Its outer face is decorated with an incised saltire cross-shaped dividing it into four lozenge-shaped cells, each decorated with parallel engraved chevrons. There is evidence that small lobes projected from each of the three outer corners orginally, but two are missing and the remaining one to one side is hardly visible due to corrosion. To the reverse a double lug pin fitting projects still holding a corrode…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) probable small-long brooch. Only the foot of the brooch survives. This is an expanded patulate or axe-shape with inwards curving sides and outwards curving lower edge. There is a break where it probably attached to the brooch. There is no evidence of decoration, but the edges are damaged and corroded.
This style of foot appears on several forms of small-long brooch (and on the later Anglian equal-arm brooch, but these are less common). Penn and Brugmann (2007) place the small-long brooches within their phas…

A fragment of a copper-alloy early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) small-long brooch. Only the foot of the brooch survives, making it difficult to identify the type. The foot terminal is a narrow spatulate shape with inwards curving sides and straight lower edge and curves inwards slightly when viewed in profile. Above this on the outer face there is a raised panel, D-shaped in cross-section, its outer face decorated with multiple transverse grooves and above this a narrow, undecorated section that expands very slightly towards its upper end where there is an abrupt break where …

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of middle Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy (bronze) brooch of Elmsett type (Weetch type 16). Originally cross-shaped, only one flaring arm now survives. It has concave sides to the arm, the more complete arm curving increasingly tightly around a cut-out which is therefore more oval than circular. The end of the arm is convex. The fragment has two circular holes; one is smaller (1.6mm diameter) and is in the centre of the arm within a reserved circle. The other is larger (2.7mm diameter) and closer to the edge of the arm, so close that it has now broken through the edge of the brooch.…
