Anglo-Saxon brooch: small long brooch, cruciform style, copper alloy |

Description |
English: An Early Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy small long brooch, copying the 'cruciform' type. Such brooches were commonest in the 6th century.
Around the 6th century AD , relatively crude imitations of cruciform and square-headed brooches were produced, and these are termed 'small long brooches' (Hattatt 1985: 211). This is a good example of the type, measuring 60.9mm in length, 32,4mm in maximum width (at the head), and 4.3mm in thickness at the bow apex. The bow itself is 8.72mm wide, while the head has a width of 32.4mm. There is a single perforated lug on the reverse,and iron corrosion representing the original pin. The bow is sharply curved, but the slightly splayed foot is decorated only with horizontal incised lines, rather than the zoomorphic ornament typical of true cruciform brooches. The head is stamped with multiple ring-and-dot motifs, and its wings are small and hemispherical. The brooch's surface shows signs of bronze diseaase. The brooch shows strong formal and decorative similarities with NARC-EFCE90 from the same site. |
