Title |
A broken fragment of a cast copper alloy small long brooch dating to the 5th/ 6th century AD. |
||
Description |
English: A cast copper alloy broken fragment of a small long brooch (length: 34.7mm; width (at foot): 10.4mm; thickness (including remains of catch plate): 7mm; weight: 4.23g). The bottom half of a small long brooch has been broken just below the arch with transverse lines incised across the width towards the foot. The foot is badly corroded around the edges but is still slightly splayed and flattened. There are incomplete remains of the catch plate on the reverse. Additionally, there seems to be very sparse remains of what may be silver plating near the catch plate. The overall condition of the brooch fragment is poor with general corrosion over the artefact , but most notably around the foot where there may even be some evidence of bronze disease on the back. The fragment has a dark green patina. This type of brooch makes its appearance in the early 5th century and survives well into the 6th. The distribution of the small long brooches extends from East Anglia (with a particular concentration in the Cambridgeshire area) and the East Midlands, and can spread as far west as Gloucestershire and as far north as Northumberland (MacGregor & Bolick, page 125). |
