Description: | Flat copper-alloy disc brooch, now very worn and with much of the edge missing. It is decorated with a relief pattern in Borre style, with a raised central lozenge with a sunken circle in the middle. The corners of the lozenge are extended to form double-strand interlace in the form of loose knots, each double strand ending in a blob. The groove dividing the strand into two has almost completely worn away. Despite the wear, this was clearly well-made; this type is mass-produced and can be very crude. On the reverse is a broken transverse pin bar lug, and a catchplate. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 900
