Title
KENT-344345. Silver early medieval S-shaped brooch. Treasure case 2008/T100.
Description
English: Fragment of an S-shaped Brooch representing just under half of an early Anglo-Saxon S-shaped brooch. The object was cast in silver, but most of the gilding has rubbed off. Triangular punch marks decorate the body of the animal and were once filled with niello, now only left in a few punch marks and visible only under magnification. The back still retains the attachment lug for the pin and is otherwise plain.

Discussion: S-brooches were popular in the early medieval period, both on the Continent and in England. Here, they are most common in Kent.

Dimensions: L 15 mm; W 10 mm max.; Weight 1.3 grams

Note: This find qualifies as Treasure under the Treasure Act of 1996.
