Description: | LS Fragment of highly ornate sheet silver object, probably a brooch. All edges broken, but the part of the design which is complete comprises three elongated ovals surrounding a lozenge shaped field. The ovals have notched borders surrounding stylised foliage and the whole oval field is gilded. The central lozengiform area carries a very ornate foliage decoration with a niello background. A detached silver knob was found in association. The knob is hemispherical and riveted through a fragment of silver plate. Sheet fragment 32mm x 20mm x 1mm. Knob 6mm diameter. Exact date and form of piece uncertain at present, but the design within the ovals is closely paralleled on metalwork of Mid/Late Saxon date. Possibly 9th-10th C. Finder thinks knob may have fallen off as it came out of the ground. | 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: | 801
