Description: | A worn small disc brooch dating to the later part of the early-medieval period. A flat brooch decorated in relief in the Borre style. This decoration consists of a knotted design best described by the accompanying image. This design seems closer to brooch V88 as illustrated in Mills (2001, 45) than the more common style of brooch exemplified by brooch V87 (ibid, 45). On the reverse are two lugs, one at either end. The lug bent round would have acted as a catchplate, while the vertical pierced lug would have held the pin (now missing). The flat disc brooch is perceived to be a 9th century type and is commonly found throughout eastern England (ibid, 45). This artefact has a light green dusty patina and has suffered losses around the circumference. | 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: | 865
