Description: | Silver continental radiate-headed brooch, consisting of a fragment of the foot only. It is divided into two decorated panels by a median rib decorated with a double row of punched triangles, possibly inlaid with niello. The raised curving sides of the foot have similar punched triangles and are joined to form eyebrows and a median rib on an animal-head terminal; the curved mouldings emphasise almond-shaped or pointed-oval eyes above panels of longitudinal and transverse bands which form the animal's nose. The reverse of the animal head terminal is deeply concave.Perhaps an Alemannic type; compare Kühn 1974, Tafel 294, 83, 5. Its date probably centres on the late 6th to early 7th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
