Title
Early Medieval Disc Brooch from Northorpe
Description
English: Copper alloy disc brooch of Kershaw's East Anglian Series, also known as the 'lozenge-and-knots' type. It has a circular plate with relief decoration of a rhomboid central field around a circular hollow of diameter 5.8mm. Each arm of the rhombus is extended to form a strand which interlaces with itself to form a loose knot; the strand ends in a rounded terminal. The stubs of a pair of integrally cast lugs on the back, set parallel to the edge of the brooch, relate to a hinged pin and its catch plate (also lost). The brooch is very corroded (giving some unusual colours) and abraded overall.

Brooches of this type account for 47% of the more than 500 Viking-age brooches from England catalogued by Jane Kershaw (2010, 186). They appear to date from the late ninth or early tenth centuries (Kershaw 2010, 313).

Diameter: 29mm, Thickness (clear of fastening gear): 2.5mm, Weight: 8.31gms.
