Description: | Viking period Cast copper alloy Borre-style disc brooch. Decoration of concave-sided lozenge with each of the four corners extended to form interlaced, double-contoured knots. In the centre is a sunken circular field. Around the edge is a plain raised border, which is damaged in several places, giving the brooch a ??nibbled?? appearance. On the reverse are the remains of a transverse pin-lug and a catchplate, also set transversely (parallel rather than perpendicular to the pin-lug). Weight: 7.57g. Diameter: 29mm. 10th century.
This brooch is of a type commonly found in East Anglia, with over 140 examples recorded from Norfolk. | Subjects: | Borre-style | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
