Title
Early Medieval equal-armed brooch fragment.
Description
English: A fragment of a middle Anglo-Saxon ansate brooch with possible zoomorphic decoration. A fragment of bow and one terminal survive; the terminal tapers towards the rounded end, which has two ring-and-dot motifs resembling the eyes of a snake's head. Two transverse grooves and a ridge separate the terminal from the bow. Only very little survives of the catchplate on the reverse of the terminal, which is longitudinal and set to one side. The fragment measures 22mm long, 9.6mm wide and 8mm thick. The weight is 1.8g.

Ansate brooches are known from 7th-century France but do not appear to have been used in England until the 8th century. They appear to go out of use in the 10th century. For examples of ansate brooches, see R. Hattatt (2000), p. 380, fig. 239.
