Description: | A small, corroded copper-alloy disc brooch of late Early-medieval date. The decoration on this Anglo-Saxon/Anglo-Scandinavian piece appears to be devolved Borre style.
The brooch is circular in plan, measuring 17.6mm in diameter, 4.4mm thick and weighing 4.03g. The upper surface has cast decoration in the form of a lozenge with a gilt double border. This design is contained within a circular groove and there is an empty cell at the centre. The plain outer border has possibly been tinned or silvered. On the reverse are the heavily worn remnants of the pin attachment and catchplate, located at opposite ends of the plate. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
