Cast saucer brooch |
||
Description |
English: Leaded copper alloy cast saucer brooch from the Early Anglo Saxon period. The brooch is circular with an angled rim defining the saucer profile. The decoration is confined to the flat plate and consists of a central device of a geometric four-pointed floral design, the interior of each petal is divided along its length. Six raised concentric circles enclose the central design. The third, fourth and fifth circles (from the centre) are interrupted by two opposing scroll based designs, likely to be stylised zoomorphs. The simpler C-like design may represent a snake, while the more elaborate motif is likely to represent stylised beasts which are difficult to discern. The reverse has the remnants of the catch plate and pin housing, but both have eroded. An area of the rim has been lost, elsewhere the brooch is in good condition.
Quatrefoil flower-like designs are found in the centre of other saucer brooches, e.g. the pair from Market Overton (Dickinson 1993, fig. 27). |
