Description: | Middle/Late Saxon copper alloy disc brooch. Plain raised central circular boss (9mm diameter) surrounded by two concentric bands containing circular pellets. The outer circle of pellets is damaged. The inner circle contains 20 pellets. Between the two bands of pellets is a plain band. Undecorated border. On the reverse are a pin-lug set parallel to the outside edge, and a transverse catch-plate, both of which are damaged. There are no traces of a pin. The brooch is damaged with large portions of the outer edge missing. The surface is quite pitted, obscuring some of the detail.
This is very similar in form to the flat Anglo-Scandinavian disc brooches that are found across East Anglia. Maximum diameter: 28 mm. Weight: 3.72g. 9th - 10th century. | Subjects: | disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
