Description: | A cast copper alloy Early Medieval pendant. The pendant is sub circular in plan. In profile the pendant is slightly crumpled. A small portion of the edge is pointed and has an oval perforation to enable the pendant to be suspended. The perforation is distorted in shape due to wear. The outer surface of the pendant is decorated with five ??ring and dots?? sited evenly around a central ??ring and dot??. This ??ring and dot?? has a hole in the centre, which does not appear to be intentional, but is due to the application of the stamped design. The reverse of the pendant is undecorated. The surface of the brooch has a mid grey/green coloured surface. The brooch measures 26.17mm long, 24.14mm wide and 0.55mm thick. It weighs 1.6g.
The design of the pendant is reminiscent of that found on disc brooches. Disc brooches date to the 5th to 6th centuries (MacGregor and Bolick 1993 A Summary Catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon Collections B.A.R. 120 p. 57) and this probably applies to this pendant. | Subjects: | Anglo Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
