Description: | Early Medieval S-shaped brooch. Cast in copper alloy this brooch takes the form of a backwards facing 'S'. The front is described as having incised lines (possibly filled with niello), with additional lines around the outside edges. There is a concentric circle in both the upper and lower curved sections of the 'S'. The design is probably of a stylized animal (or two). The brooch appears to be solid, with no openwork between the head and body of the animal. The original record described a "possible pin visible on reverse". It is uncertain if this comment refers to a corroded iron pin, or the hinge and catchplate. The brooch is approximately 32mm long and 17mm wide. | Subjects: | S-shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hobbs, Richard - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
