now a simple hollow oblong punched out 

 of a thin sheet of bronze. But there are 

 two marks of fracture seeming to show that 

 originally it was a double oblong. The 

 side of the existing oblong, the side 

 namely which was the middle bar, is 

 slightly notched, probably to enable a pin 

 to be attached more firmly. 



Gussage St. Michael, Field 53. 



A very curious buckle, if in. across, and 

 i fin. the other way. The bow is hinged 

 to the bar by interlacing eyes. There 

 have been three pins or prongs.

These (126 and 1260.) are the only per- 

 fect bronze brooches in the collections. 

 126 is penannular, i^in. across, the ends 

 doubled back and slightly ornamented, 

 the flattish ring having a faint cable 

 moulding on it. The pin is twisted round 

 the ring-metal so as to move freely on it, 

 but to be stopped by the doubled ends of 

 the ring.

The ends of the ring are formed into 

 knobs. Section of the metal of the ring 

 round.
