Parish/County: Saxton, North Yorkshire
A Medieval brooch, the hoop in low relief, in the form of two grotesques riding lions. The pin of the brooch is much distorted and bent out of shape. The sockets of the eyes of the grotesques and lions are very deep and may have been designed to accommodate coloured stones.
The brooch is made from white metal (probably silver) and is likely to date from the thirteenth century
Dimensions: length 18 mm, width 20 mm.
In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Barton, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
