Anglo-Saxon disc brooch, reverse |
||
| Description |
English: Incomplete copper alloy Anglo-Saxon disc brooch. This brooch is circular in plan and flat in section. The brooch has a central, circular perforation. The face of the brooch is heavily worn and abraded, with little of the original surface surviving. What survives is pitted and has a dark green patina, with exposed surfaces being lighter green. There are no traces of tinning, which might be expected with this type of brooch. The reverse of the brooch is in a similar condition, with little of the original surface surviving. It appears to be plain. The pin bar lug is obscured by an orangey brown mass, presumably the remains of the pinhead. This mass extends for a short distance below the area of the pin bar lug, presumably the remains of the pin shaft. A portion of the catchplate remains, but it is truncated, worn and minus its curl and little more than a knop. The brooch has a diameter of 32.7mm, is 2.58mm thick and weighs 13.8g. MacGregor and Bolick, 1993, A Summary catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon collections in the Ashmolean Museum, pages 57-68, illustrate many similar examples with the concentric ring decoration. Brooches of this type date to the 5th and 6th centuries. |
