Description: | Late Early Medieval or early Medieval pewter disc brooch. The brooch is circular and is decorated similar to the reverses of the coins of William II, specifically the 'cross-voided' type (circa 1092-1095).
The decoration comprises a voided cross pattee with annulet in centre over a cross annulettee. Instead of a legend there is a perimeter of hatches. The reverse of the brooch has two crescent-shaped lugs each with a hole through the centre aligned with a slightly concave channel. The pin mechanism is missing. The surface of the lugs are decorated with grooves whereas the reverse of the brooch is decorated with cross-hatching. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
