Title
Ansate brooch
Description
English: A complete copper-alloy middle Anglo-Saxon ansate brooch in very good condition, measuring 47mm in length and 8mm in width. This brooch is rectangular in plan and has a semi-circular cross-section. The bow has a central rounded projecting arch and the terminals flare outwards slightly towards their ends. The front face of this brooch is decorated with a central longitudinal ridge, running across this ridge there are transverse mouldings, prominent ones occur at the end of both of the terminals, at either side of the central arch and across the centre of the arch itself. Less prominent transverse mouldings also occur inbetween these at regular intervals along the length of the bow and across the terminals. On the back face behind the terminals a catch plate can be seen at one end and a single pin bar lug at the other. This pin lug has corroded iron within it, presumably from the iron pin. A similar ansate brooch has been found at Ipswich, Suffolk also dating to the 8th or 9th century (West 1998, 216, fig 98).
