Description: | A gilded copper-alloy saucer brooch of early Anglo-Saxon) date (broadly 6th century AD). It is circular, now damaged around the edges, and has relief Style I decoration on its upper surface which retains traces of gilding. At the centre is a raised circular boss with a circular central depression. Surrounding this is a band of Style I animal decoration, in turn surrounded by a double raised ring. The outer lip of the brooch is largely missing. On the reverse, the damaged and worn catchplate and hinge sit at opposite sides of the plate. Their original form is difficult to determine due to their condition. The brooch measures 40.5mm long by 36mm wide and 3mm thick. It weighs 18.34g. | 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: | 500
