Description: | Copper alloy Hanging Bowl mount. Cast disc with enamelled design comprising four pelta or kidney shaped figures springing from an outer border around a central dot, all rendered as cells filled with dull blue enamel. A field between the figures is filled with brick red enamel. The edge of the disc is grooved, as if the design had been built up on a plain disc by the addition of an openwork plate forming the cells to be filled by enamel. The use of enamel is a British style thought in this context to illustrate a reflux of Celtic influence, and bowls with this decoration are especially characteristic of Lindsey and northern Britain. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 550-650.Diameter: 29.4mm, Thickness: 3.5mm, Weight: 13.52gms.
