Description |
English:
An incomplete Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper-alloy penannular brooch of Fowler's Type G, c. 410-c. 650.
The pin is missing The frame is oval in cross-section and decorated on the upper surface only with a series of transverse ribs. However, these are almost completely worn and are barely visible. The terminals are circular and are flat on the decorated side and slightly convex on the underside. In the centre of each terminal on the decorated side there is a small circular cell containing decorative material. The colour of the material in one cell is blue and probably enamel. The other cell contains brown decayed material. Length: 23.9mm; width: 22.7mm; thickness of frame: 4.2mm; terminals c. 6.2mm x 5.6mm. Weight: 4.34g. This brooch has a shiny dark green patina and is worn overall. A similar penannular with enamelled dots was found in a grave at Fairford, Gloucestershire (Wylie, 1852, 23, pl.v/5; White, R. H. (1988) 'Roman and Celtic Objects from Anglo-Saxon Graves', BAR 191: Oxford, p.20; Dickinson 1982, fig.4, 13). Penannular brooches of Fowler's Type G mostly date to the 5th and 6th centuries, though some may continue into the 7 th century. Compare with: LIN-35B2BE and NLM1052 . |
