Description: | Small, subcircular openwork brooch, possibly a variant of a cogwheel brooch. The edge is defined by a series of indents. In the approximate centre there is set a small black gemstone (or glass bead?) which has a central hole. Above and below this central setting there is a semi-circle of three round holes. The catchplate and hinge on the reverse are set on opposing edges at right angles to the diameter. The hinge retains traces of iron. This brooch, which is possibly of Continental origin, probably dates to the Middle or Late Anglo-Saxon period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rayfield, Kerrie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
