A genuine Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy small-long brooch, discovered by a metal detectorist in Oxfordshire, England, and recorded by the UK Portable Antiquities Scheme.
This ARTEFACT design turns a real early-medieval brooch into a bold museum-meets-streetwear piece for people who value the story more than the trophy.
THE STORY BEHIND THE FIND
This brooch dates to the early Anglo-Saxon period, c. AD 500–550. The PAS record describes it as a copper-alloy small-long brooch with a cruciform head plate, T-shaped arms, an arched bow, and an expanded crescent-shaped terminal.
The pin is no longer present, but the hinge and catchplate survive on the reverse. The object carries a very dark green patina — the quiet surface of something once worn, lost, and later recovered from the ground.
THE DESIGN
Built in the “A Fragment of Time” format, the print combines a large central artefact image, a technical grid background, catalogue-style data panels, a UK PAS find ID, and the vertical detectorist mark:
“FOUND WITH A METAL DETECTOR”
Printed text on the design:
“SMALL LONG BROOCH”
“A FRAGMENT OF TIME”
“ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND”
