Description: | An incomplete gilt central linked pin from a triple-linked set, consisting of a circular head-plate with worn and corroded chip-carved decoration on the face, a central perforation and tiny opposed perforations for linking the elements at the outside edge, the shaft is missing, probably originally soldered onto reverse, an oblique fold across one third of plate. The decoration comprises a plain narrow cross springing from a central disc, within an outer border and between four panels each with bifurcated curled tendrils with trefoil terminals. Diameter 35mm. Cf. linked pins from Brandon, Suffolk; Fiskerton, Lincolnshire and Bolnhurst, Bedfordshires, in Webster and Backhouse (1991) nos.66c and 184-5. 8th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crawford, Becky | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
