Equal-armed Brooches

These are bar-shaped brooches also found in the Viking age for pinning women's outerwear. Variations of this shape are seen in Roman times as well as during the Migration Period. Note: there is a type of Anglo-Saxon brooch that is also called "equal-armed" but has a very different shape (more like a capital "H" or a butterfly). Both types of "equal armed" brooch are found on this board.
