Description: | A gilded copper-alloy brooch of early medieval (Anglo-saxon) date. A disc brooch dating from the early 6th century AD. The plate is sub-circular and is damaged around the edges. It has moulded decoration on its upper surface and retains traces of gilding. At the centre of the plate is a raised circular lobe with a circular central depression. Surrounding this is a band of Style I animal decoration. This is surrounded by a double raised ring. The outer lip of the brooch is largely missing. On the reverse, the damaged and worn catchplate and hinge sit at opposite sides of the plate. Their original form is difficult to determine due to their condition. The brooch measures 40.5mm long by 36mm wide and 3mm thick. It weighs 18.34g. | 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 |
