Description: | Two joining fragments of a Mid Saxon/Late Saxon 9th-century openwork circular brooch found in 1997. On the reverse the transverse pin lug with remains of iron pin loop. More than one half has now been recovered. The join can be seen to be at a quite recent break. The stub on the reverse of the first fragment is now identified as the remains of a catchplate set transversely.
Sometimes called ??cogwheel?? brooches, Norfolk examples include pieces from Colkirk (HER 37128), Fincham (33011), Gillingham (31343), Morton-on-the-Hill (25247), Mundham (29312), Norwich (845), Quidenham (24051), Redenhall with Harleston (31946), Saxlingham Nethergate (13174), West Acre (30821) and Tattersett (31825). A typical brooch, perhaps from Icklingham (Suffolk), has been published (Hinton 1974, Ashmolean catalogue, 21 cat. no. 14). The type is also known in Lincolnshire. | 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 |
