Description: | Cast copper alloy disc brooch, decorated with a linear animal, a quadruped right with raised tail and long ears. In front of the animal is a tree and the scene probably depicts a deer in the woods. There are traces of blue enamel remaining in the recessed panels of the brooch. A perforated lug for the pin and a catchplate survive on the reverse; the pin alignment is vertical with the lug at the bottom edge. This brooch is probably of 10th-11th century date. | 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: | 900
