Description: | MS/LS Ae backward-looking beast disc brooch. Rather worn. The beast displays four legs, including two with three "toes" & one with two. Border of radiating nicks. An incomplete single transverse pin-lug on reverse behind the chest, & a 5mm high catch-plate behind rump. Far from circular, diam. 23 - 24.5mm. A similar brooch found in an early 10th-century context in 16-22 Coppergate, York, gives the best date for the series (Roesdahl 1981: 75, 105). | 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: | 800
