Description: | Late Saxon mount. Slightly domed copper alloy disc, becoming thinner towards the edge, with four evenly spaced sub-triangular apertures disclosing an equal-armed cross within a circle, and a central blind hole on the convex face. Part of the edge is missing. Very worn, and corroded. There are traces of an unidentified white substance on all four arms of the cross on the reverse, perhaps solder, but no other trace of fittings or means of attachment. Perhaps a large brooch, the originally soldered catch-plate and pin-lug now missing. Not substantial enough to be a strap-distributor. Probably 10th century.Diameter 41mm. Height 4.5mm.DIGIT. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
