Description: | LS Ae gilt cloisonné enamel brooch, circular base-plate with six lobes (dia.26mm) onto which is soldered a collar of Ae strip. Set within this collar is an copper-alloy cloisonné enamel disc with strips forming a concave lozengiform centre and two opposed foils between two triangles containing traces of light blue enamel, these are set in a dark blue enamelled field, light blue glass spheres survive in three of the six settings on the surrounding lobes. There are two copper-alloy strips soldered onto the reverse, one forming the hinge for a wire pin, and the other forming a (now flattened) catch-plate. The decoration on this late 10th- or 11th-century brooch is unlike any of those discussed by Buckton 1986 (Med. Arch. 30, 8-18). At least two more examples are known from Norfolk, from Feltwell and Walpole St Peter (Ashley and Rogerson 1994, Norfolk Archaeol. 42, 102-4). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
