Title
Viking Borre-style disc brooch
Description
English: Viking Borre-style disc brooch. Decoration of concave-sided lozenge with each of the four corners extended to form interlaced, double-contoured knots. In the centre is a sunken circular field. Around the edge is a plain raised border. On the reverse are a transverse pin-lug and a catch-plate; unusually, these are complete and undamaged. Attached to the pin lug are the remains of a corroded iron pin. There is also iron staining beside the catch-plate, indicating the position of the pin while the brooch was in the ground. Although the decoration on the obverse of this brooch is not very worn, the brooch is very thin, and a small hole is visible between two of the interlaced strands of knotwork decoration. Weight: 5.16g. Diameter: 29.5mm. 10th century This brooch is of a type commonly found in East Anglia, with over 140 examples recorded from Norfolk
