Description |
English: A complete lead late Anglo-Saxon disc brooch in good condition, with only slight damage, now worn around its edges. This brooch measures 25.2mm in diameter and has a slightly domed centre on its front face. Its front face is decorated with a circle around the domed centre with two concentric circles in the centre of this. There is a cross overlying the domed centre, the outline of which is formed of two parallel lines with small transverse mouldings in between them. The four rounded corners of the cross shape terminate outside the central circle. In between the four corners outside the circle there are curvilinear roughly semi-circular motifs again formed of two lines with small transverse mouldings in between them.
On the back face the integral pin loop and catch plate survive, opposite each other. There are traces of the corroded iron pin within and around the pin loop.No parallel could be found for the decorative design on this lead disc brooch. There is a possiblity that this is a nummular brooch and the design ultimately derived from a coin but now abstract. |
