Description: | Worn and incomplete early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper-alloy disc brooch; circa 450-550 AD.
The object consists of a slightly domed sub-circular plate. The upper surface is decorated with five punched ring-and-dot marks, the central depressions of which are deeply recessed. One ring-and-dot mark is located at the centre, the others are equally spaced around it. On the reverse is a single perforated pin atachment containing iron corrosion from the now-missing pin; at the opposite end is the damaged catchplate.
The object measures 26.3mm in diameter and 8mm thick. No weight recorded. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
