Description: | A copper-alloy disc brooch of early Early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date.
The object is simple in form, the sub-circular plate being undecorated, apart from the outer edge, which has a series of closely-spaced incisions. On the reverse, the pin attachment is located a few milimetres in from the edge of the brooch and consists of a single projecting lug with a central hole. The catchplate is located opposite, up against the edge of the brooch, and has a top edge which has been bent backwards so that it almost touches the plate. No trace of the pin survives. The object is worn and damaged. It measures 30.7mm in diameter by 2mm thick (plate) and weighs 8.43g. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
