Description: | An annular copper-alloy object, 37 mm in diameter and slightly oval in cross-section. On one face the ring is decorated with three equally-spaced areas of transverse segments comprising transverse grooves, and with plain areas between. On the other face the grooves are continuous right around the circumference. The object is in good condition and is patinated dark green.
This is likely to be the frame of an annular brooch dating to the 7th century AD. These frequently have alternating zones of transverse ribbing and undecorated areas and tend to be of these slender proportions. Excavated examples from graves include Milfield grave N1, Uncleby grave 12, Holywell Row grave 11, and Castledyke graves 13, 101, 120 and 138). The decoration can continue right round the frame and appear on both faces. | 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: | 600
