Bracteate, C Type |
||
Description |
English: Silver C-bracteate showing a highly stylised horseman, his head in profile, facing right, and made up of a crescent in front of which a mouth and lips are suggested; a large eye and triangular nose are clearly shown. A jagged edge beneath the nose may suggest a moustache or breath. The hair is represented by a bar ending with a large curl behind the head and a projection in front of the face, terminating in a bird's head. The horse's body is shown by two curving bars, each surrounded by a narrow rib and centrally divided. Beneath this is a row of pellets which runs under the front part of the body and the gap between the two halves. At one end is a bell-shaped head with gaping jaws and a pellet for an eye. This is topped by a large, pointed, ear and curving line, perhaps representing a mane. At the other end of the body is a hip, and a hind leg ending in a cross-like trefoil. The front legs are shown by a W-shaped set of bars set in narrow ribs, representing one leg reaching forward, and the other back.
The design is surrounded by a ring of repoussé pellets slightly in from the edge. There is no sign of any suspension point and it is unlikely that a black deposit on the bracteate's back is related to any form of fixing. It is possible that the bracteate originally had a separate rim and suspension loop. Diameter 29.0mm; Mass 1.71g. Dr Morten Axboe has assigned the catalogue number IK 643 to this bracteate. A similar C-bracteate, this time made from gold, was found about four miles to the north of the findspot of 2011T591 in 2004 (NCL-C85065; 2004T436; IK607; Behr 2010, 60-62). This in turn bears a close resemblance to the gold C-bracteate from Kirmington, North Lincolnshire (Axboe 1982, 52, 74, 305e). The English C-bracteates are thought to date to the latest phase of bracteate production, in the second quarter of the 6th century (Behr 2010, 62). |
