Description: | Late Saxon cast Borre-style disc brooch. Corroded purplish metal. Worn decoration of concave-sided lozenge with each of the four corners extended to form interlaced, double-contoured knots. The centre is perforated where the sunken circular field has been removed (probably deliberately), surrounded by a narrow circular band. On the reverse are the remains of a pin-lug set parallel to the side of the brooch with corroded traces of the missing iron pin. The catch-plate is missing. The outside edge is cracked, broken and bent upward in one place and nicked in another. Maximum diameter: 28mm. Weight: 4.42g. This brooch is of a type commonly found in East Anglia, with over 140 examples recorded from Norfolk alone. 10th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
