Description: | Fragment of an Early Medieval Irish penannular brooch, silver gilt bearing incised decoration consisting of double spiral, a zone of double chevron ribs set within two ribs and a number of gently rounded plain panels. The back is flat and undecorated. This fragment is best paralleled by two plates fixed to the back of the brooch from Killamery, Co. Kilkenny (Youngs, 1989, 99-100, Catalogue Number 80). These show the some decorative element as seen on the Torksey find, the spiral (which is only a single ring on Killamery) the herring-bone like chevron and the plain areas. The Killamery brooch is Irish and of ninth century date. Length 17.5mm, Width 9.9mm, Thickness 0.9mm. Mass not recorded.
