Description: | Anglo-Scandinavian copper alloy disc brooch.
The brooch is decorated with an openwork design of interlacing knots, possibly of the Borre style (see NMS-7446E3 and ESS-4D7A85 for examples of this style).
On the reverse there are the remains of the pin lug and catchplate. The pin is missing. There is also part of the suspension loop which the wearer could have passed a chain through to wear the brooch as a pendant. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McNestrie, Beth - Museum of Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
