Title
Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) Great Square-Headed Brooch
Description
English: A fragment of a cast copper-alloy Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) Great Square-Headed brooch (c. 550-c. 600).

This object consists of part of the bow and part of the footplate. The bow is convex at the front and concave at the rear. It measures 15.0mm in length and 15.6mm in width. A vertical flat mid-rib divides two panels decorated with evenly-spaced ribs. At each edge of the bow there is a pair of vertical ribs. The footplate is flat at the front and rear. At the front it has moulded decoration. From the lower part of the mid-rib on the bow, two similar ribs flare downwards and outwards to form three panels on the footplate. The two 'comma'-shaped footplate upper borders have curvilinear lines within. The central panel, the footplate inner panel frame and the footplate inner panel are in the form of a stylised letter 'A' with beading and linear lines. About mid-way across the width of the footplate, adjacent to the bow, there is a catch-plate, 'D'-shaped in side profile. The curled over part to secure the pin is absent due to corrosion or a break.

This fragment mainly has a mid-green patina but is also corroded in places. The rear face of the footplate has 'scratch' marks to the left side of the catch-plate (as viewed).

There is no indication of burning or melting.
