Lead Disc Brooch |
||
| Description |
English: A late Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Scandinavian lead disc brooch. This brooch is of broadly nummular type, being ultimately based on the form of contemporary coins. The brooch has a raised pellet at the centre that stands 2.20mm proud of the brooch surface and has a diameter of 4.42mm. Surrounding this raised pellet is a series of concentric circles. All of the fields between these circles with the exception of the first, that which surrounds the pellet, are segmented creating an effect of slightly raised circles and transverse lines with small trapezoidal depressed fields between. The plate has a thickness of 1.97mm increasing to 3.55mm over the central pellet. The reverse has a loop that bends over towards the edge of the plate. Presumeably the pin, now missing, attached to this loop. Beside the edge of the plate opposite the loop is a curved catchplate. The catchplate has a rectangular section measuring 4.37mm x 3.00mm that tapers to 2.90mm x 1.50mm. The base of the catchplate where it attaches to the plate measures 8.68mm x 3.82mm. The loop is set 4.22mm in from the edge of the plate with an approximately oval aperture. The aperture measures 4.00mm x 2.84mm. The cross section of the loop is less certain but is possibly best described as being oval or sub-triangular. The external measurements of the loop are: length 12.97mm, width 3.00mm and height 6.00mm. The brooch weighs 11.39g and has a diameter of 30.80mm.
Compare with P.A.S. records: SF-CCF226, NMS-109141, SF-CBDDE0, LEIC-C55634, SF-5095A6, CAM-8B2B06. It is interesting to note that these have a distinctly eastern bias. |
