Anglo-Saxon brooch

Description |
English:
An Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy safety-pin type brooch. The brooch is made from a single piece of wire, pointed at one end, bent into a springy loop in the centre, and then bent up to form a hooked catchplate at the other end. This type of brooch is sometimes wrongly attributed to the Iron Age; a very similar example was however found unstratified at Whitby (Peers and Ralegh Radford 1943, fig. 12, no. 4) and they are more likely to belong to the middle Anglo-Saxon period, perhaps 8th century.
