Description: | Pewter or lead alloy disc brooch. The brooch is circular, flat and decorated with a perimeter of fourteen circles, each with a pellet in the centre. A circular band inside the perimeter encloses the circles. The centre of the face is decorated with a human face, perhaps representing Woden. The face has oval eyes and a long pronounced nose, with a slightly open mouth beneath. The face has long hair and a beard, depicted by eleven lines radiating from the side of the head down and around the chin and back up again the other side. There is a damaged pin lug and catchplate on the reverse. The brooch has a dull reddish brown patina. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
