Title
Early-medieval brooch: Openwork lozenge broch
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy plate brooch dating to the late Early-medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) period. The brooch is lozenge-shaped in plan with four open cells between the arms of a cross. The ends of the cross's arms are pointed and may be devolved animal head terminals, in the Borre style, each with a V-shaped collar dividing the terminal and the cross's arm. The centre of the cross is raised. On the reverse of the brooch are two short stubs, these being the remains of the double lug for the pin, and a small spike is all that remains of the catch-plate. The pin is not present. In other records (see LIN-DFAF06, SF-D9EEA2 and YORYM-9DBFD4), Jane Kershaw has identified these objects as Scandinavian Openwork lozenge brooches, Type I (beaded arms). They date from the tenth or early eleventh century AD.
