| Title |
Middle Anglo-Saxon disc brooch, or 'cogwheel' brooch |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete copper-alloy cogwheel brooch of Early-Medieval date, missing its pin, outer edge of the pin lug and catchplate due to old breaks. The brooch has a flat circular plate with openwork and moulded decoration. This comprises a central cross-shaped motif with central lozenge shaped panel and sub-rectangular perforations in each quadrant. At the centre the lozenge has a slightly domed front face, and the sides of each arm of the cross have moulded ridges that terminate at the outer edge of the plate in raised pellets. The outer edge of the plate has a moulded border with central groove, the exterior edge having a series of rectangular crenellations around its circumference. These number eighteen in total. On the back face of the plate is an incomplete but integrally cast pin lug, missing its outer edge and any corresponding catchplate due to old breaks. The centre of the back face is slightly concave. This brooch measures 28.99mm in diameter, 2.93mm in thickness and 4.98g in weight.
This is a Middle Anglo-Saxon disc brooch, or 'cogwheel' brooch. It finds parallels in published examples (Hinton, 1974: no. 14) as well as in examples recorded through the PAS database (e.g. SF-497CD2, NMS-BBA6F6). These suggest a date range for the current example in the 9th century AD. |
