Early-medieval brooch: Disc brooch |
||
Description |
English: A nearly-complete copper alloy disc brooch of early Anglo-Saxon date. The brooch is in very fine condition, missing only the pin on the reverse. The front of the brooch is decorated Salin's Style II, with an annulet with 'beak' and four bands of interlace. There are three areas with this design, separated by triangular, or 'keystone' cells that are covered with thin silver sheeting. The centre of the brooch has a central pellet around which are two thin circumferential bands joined across their width by four lines, creating four open cell-like features. Around this is a solid circumferential band. The outer edge of the brooch has a raised circumferential band, angain undecorated. The linear and interlace decoration retains traces of gilding. On the reverse of the brooch is the complete hooked catchplate and the lug through which the pin would have been secured. This is now encrusted with iron corrosion, indicating that the pin and possible the rivet were of iron.
Compare LEIC-6554A7, which cites further parallels. They have similarities with jewelled disc brooches of the 6th century AD. Therefore it is likely that this brooch is of a similar date, c. 530-570 AD. |
