Description The product of another day at Lindum Heritage.

Anglo-saxon Bronzework, namely a wrist clasp (which had a similar function to cufflinks), a pair of tweezers - I didnt know they had tweezers in Anglo-saxon Britain, especially not bronze ones! - and a brooch pin.

These were much harder and much more time consuming than the pottery. To see just HOW small these pieces were, look at these pics:

wrist clasp: [link]
tweezers: [link]
brooch pin: [link]

I think these are a lot easier to understand than the pottery!

EDIT: finished the drawings, inked them and took photos.
