Description: | Late Saxon Strap distributor: circular object with hollow interior and four apertures in the sides coinciding with the ends of an equal-armed cross on one face. This contained red champlev?? enamel, of which small traces remain. Its arms have curving sides and slightly expanded terminals and there is a central depression or dot. There is now no trace of enamel in the interstices. The reverse is partly crushed and there are several small holes caused by damage. Diameter 22mm, thickness 7mm. Apertures 10mm x 5mm. No close parallel has been noted but the cross is reminiscent of those on 10th-century disc brooches such as an example from Wattisfield, Suffolk (West EAA 84 (1998) fig.133 no.2). | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | 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 |
