Late Saxon/Scandinavian copper alloy disc brooch |
||
| Description |
English: A Viking cast copper-alloy disc brooch decorated in the Jellinge style. The brooch has a flat back and a domed surface. The surface is decorated with a moulded motif comprising a knot of beaded lines, perhaps imitating filigree. Within and outside the knot are various limbs, tongues, gripping feet, and head lappets.
The whole combines to form a very clear motif consisting of a pair of S-shaped Jellinge-style animals with heads against the edge of the brooch and bodies curving down and around, to end in tails which are wrapped back over the body to end back at the mouth. In the centre is a rounded boss, and the animals each has a spiral shoulder and three-toed triangular feet. The reverse contains a double pin-lug with traces of corroded iron from the (missing) pin between, with further iron staining close to the catchplate. A third loop is located close to the perimeter, roughly between the catch-plate and the pin-lug. Similar to NMS-DFD1E7, NMS-A4D637, NMS-799114, and YORYM-25E682. Of Jansson's type I E (Kershaw 2013, 114-6). The presence of a third loop was believed by Margeson (The Vikings in Norfolk, 1997, p. 21) to be "a sure sign of Scandinavian origin". Brooches of this type are widespread in Scandinavia, with a particular concentration at Birka (near Stockholm, Sweden). |
