Title
Anglo Saxon beast brooch
Description
English: A late Saxon, cast, copper-alloy disc brooch, dating to AD 850 - 1066. The brooch is circular in plan and decorated with a backward-looking beast within a border of 28 pellets. The beast has an upturned tail and open jaws. It has no mane as many other brooches of this type do. The beast has four legs which blend into the border pellets. On the reverse are the incomplete integrally-moulded pin-lug and catch-plate. The pin-lug is positioned directly behind the beast's breast. The catch-plate is intact and curls upwards with the open side facing up.

Tom Redmayne comments on PUBLIC-9688E0 that: A similar backward-looking animal brooch was found in an early 10th-century context in 16-22 Coppergate, York, giving the best archaeological date for the series (Roesdahl 1981,'The Vikings in England', no. E10, p.75, 105).

Diameter: 27.5 mm
