Description: | A bent, corroded and incomplete copper-alloy disc brooch of early Early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date.
The plate, which is circular in plan, has a double grooved border one third of the way in from the outer edge, thus creating a circular central panel. Traces of silvering or tinning survive within this central panel and there is a small circular hole at the centre of the plate. On the reverse, the pin attachment lies close to the edge of the plate and is obscured by iron corrosion, presumably from the now-missing pin. The catchplate is opposite the pin attachment; it is set at a right angle to the plate and has a rolled top edge.
The object measures 33.9mm in diameter, is 10.8mm thick (including the pin attachment) and weighs 6.49g. The plate is 0.7mm thick. | 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 |
